timed confirmpopup

[mkossmann]

The following code for a timed confirmpopup used to work as code module in Teststand-3.1/Windows XP. When porting this to Teststand-2013/Windows-7 it doesn't work anymore.  The faked keystroke seems to go to nirvana and doesn't reach the confirm popup.  How to get this working again ?

int CVICALLBACK waitcallback (int reserved, int theTimerId, int event,
                                 void *callbackData, int eventData1,
                                 int eventData2)
{
	if (event != EVENT_TIMER_TICK) return 0;

	// Time elapsed: send ESC to the active panel
	FakeKeystroke (VAL_ESC_VKEY);

	return 0;
}

void __declspec(dllexport) fl_query_repair(tTestData * testData, tTestError * testError)
{
	ErrMsg errMsg = {'\0'};
    ERRORINFO errorInfo;
	double waittime = 5;
	int timer,response,status,error = 0; 
	 
	char  msgstr1[1024]= {0},resstr[256];
   
	timer = NewAsyncTimer (waittime, 1, 1, waitcallback, 0);
	
	response = ConfirmPopup ("Repair", "Is this a repair ?");
	
	if (response) strcpy ( resstr, "Repair") ;
		else  strcpy ( resstr, "Serial Prod"); 
	
	status = TS_PropertySetValString (testData->seqContextCVI, &errorInfo,
										  "Step.Limits.String ", 0, resstr);	
	
	
	testData->replaceStringFuncPtr(&testData->stringMeasurement,resstr);
	
Error:     
    // If an error occurred, set the error flag to cause a run-time error in TestStand.
    if (error < 0)
        {
        testError->errorFlag = TRUE;
    
        //OPTIONALLY SET THE ERROR CODE AND STRING
        testError->errorCode = error;
        testData->replaceStringFuncPtr(&testError->errorMessage, errMsg);
        }
    
    return;   		
}

I can't comment on your code as I haven't tested it, but in case you can't get it to work, you can use the method described here to make your own timed confirm popup (just add a normal timer to a simplification of one of the examples): http://www.gdargaud.net/Hack/LabWindows.html#Popup
