I am using as basis UserInterface\NI\Simple\CVI\Testexec.prj. I want to force the application to launch a certain sequence.seq file without going through the OPENFILEBTN callback. I would like to open a custom panel from whichthat the oprator will select cetain line and base on his selection I want to use the Simple Test Executive Operator Interface to open the related sequence without having the operator to press on the OPEN Btn.

Which callback should I use to load a certain PATH and sequence file.

Thanks

Hello JTTest1997,

The last release of Test Executive was back to 1999, so it is hard to find documentation about it. This toolkit was replaced with TestStand software.

However, I was opening User Interface developed in CVI with the TestStand API (which is pretty similar with TestExec) and found out this function:

HRESULT CVIFUNC TSUI_SequenceFileViewMgrConnectSequenceFileList (CAObjHandle objectHandle,
ERRORINFO *errorInfo,
CAObjHandle uiObj,
VBOOL fullPath,
TSUIObj_SequenceFileListConnection *val);

This function will connect to the sequence specified in the FileCombo box.

Regards,

Carmen C.

Hi Carmen C,

That is not what I want going through the FileCombo box. I want to specify directly the .seq file.

Is there a CVIFunction that will do that instead of going through the FileCombo box.

 Hi JTTest1997,

Try looking at the following thread.  

Load Sequence File Dynamicly back from 2007, TerryS may be talking about what you want to do.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Another Idea: Teststand allows to specify a sequence file as command line argument. If testexec shares the same feature, it might be worth to have a look at the code that handles that commandline argument in testexec.
