Description
When you set the indicator text using the PushText method, the old indicator text is not removed, but stored to the internal stack so that you can easily restore the text later via PopText. The Clear method removes all of the strings from the stack and reverts the indicator text to the default one.
Note that the indicator text can be changed by your scripts or by TestComplete. Clear only removes user strings. It does not touch the TestComplete values.
Declaration

Example

JavaScript, JScript
function IndicatorDemo()
{
// Shows the indicator icon
Indicator.Show();
// Pushes text to the indicator
Indicator.PushText("Hello!");
// Delays the script execution for 2 seconds
aqUtils.Delay(2000, Indicator.Text);
// Pushes new text to the indicator
Indicator.PushText("New indicator text.");
aqUtils.Delay(2000, Indicator.Text);
// Restores the previous indictor text - "Hello!"
Indicator.PopText();
aqUtils.Delay(2000, Indicator.Text);
// Clears the history of the indicator's user messages
Indicator.Clear();
// Hides the indicator icon
Indicator.Hide();
}
Python
def IndicatorDemo():
# Shows the indicator icon

# Pushes new text to the indicator
Indicator.PushText("New indicator text.")
aqUtils.Delay(2000, Indicator.Text)
# Restores the previous indictor text - "Hello!"
Indicator.PopText()
