Image Based Action failed due to TestComplete running dialog blocking

[Josh_147]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Image Based Action to simulate a Click action on an object but the object is covered by the TestComplete running dialog when I run the test. Therefore, the Image Based Action operation always failed. Is there any solution for this situation?

Thanks.

Indicator.Hide() / Indicator.Show()

Hi @AlexKaras 

I've added Indicator.Hide() at the beginning of the test, it works but when the coming step is the Image Based Action, the indicator occurred again.

Hi,

Hm... I see...

I would ask Support about this.

Meanwhile, you may try not to hide but to move Indicator to some other screen area as per http://www.sqaforums.com/forums/automatedqa-smartbear-testcomplete/65641-move-indicator-post303096.h...

Does this help?

Update:

Function from the above link updated to work with the modern TC:

// From: http://www.sqaforums.com/forums/automatedqa-smartbear-testcomplete/65641-move-indicator.html?X-ANT-WAF-Attempt=1#post303096
function MoveIndicator()
{
  var h, w, i;
  var X, Y;

  w = Sys.Process('Test*te').Window('TIndicator', '', 1);
  h = w.Handle;

  X = w.ScreenLeft;
  Y = w.ScreenTop;

  // Move the window
  for (i = 1; i <= 200; i++)
    Win32API.SetWindowPos(h, Win32API.HWND_TOP, i, i, w.Width, w.Height, Win32API.SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

  // Restore the original position
  Win32API.SetWindowPos(h, Win32API.HWND_TOP, X, Y, w.Width, w.Height, Win32API.SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
}

Hi,

Sorry it seems like couldn't help. When the coming step is the Image Based Action, the indicator occurred at the top right too.

Then no better idea at the moment but to create Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form.
