can I pause automatic test and remind me to manual test then continue

[xx1]

When test desktop application, some operations use automatic to test not very well, so I want to pause automatic test and eye-catching remind me to manual test through popup a dialog or other better way, if I finished manual operation, i tell it, then it will continue automatic test. Does testcomplete support this? How to do? 

Thank you very much

you may try this...........

function showingAmessage()
{
  BuiltIn.ShowMessage("Hey you tester!...did you finished manual stuff ");
  
}

Previous question I showed you how to popup a message.......

in javascript you can write some thing like..... 

function How2Stop()
{
  var xyz = null;
  // you fogot to set value to xyz before test run
  if (xyz==null){
    BuiltIn.ShowMessage('Terrible thing happend, I have do this manualy');
    Runner.Pause();
  } 
}

You can also use UserForms to create your own modal dialog to communicate to the tester and even prompt for responses and such.
