UI Automation if selected, is increasing the GDI objects of AUT

Hi, When we select UI Automation on Project Properties page for identifying Objects via UIA then GDI objects of Application under test increases. The no of threads used by the AUT increases too....

Hi Tanya, Do you mean the GDI objects of AUT will keep on increasing if we enable the UIA technology and TestComplete does not have any control over it?

I guess after enabling UIA from TestComplete, the AUT is starting to emit the messages to TestComplete and allowing it to identify the objects. While doing so GDI objects of AUT are being created but not cleaned up by AUT persistently after they no longer required?

This is then needs to be taken care of by AUT.

Thanks anyway,
