ApplicationManager Events or UImessages

[Marcos_V._Bischoff]

Hi There.
we are developing a UI to execute out tests.
Now I wonder where is the difference between the Application Manager events and UIMessages.

For now I use the ApplicationMgr axAppMgr_UIMessageEvent to react on breakpoints, RTE and ending execution and so on.
But there are also Events for that.
Is it advisable to use UIMessages or is it better to use the events?

Many of the events on the Application manager are just generated as a result of a UIMessage. For these events it is perfectly fine to just handle them directly in the UIMessageEvent Event on the ApplicationMgr instead. Either way is acceptable. Keep in mind though that not all of the events on the ApplicationMgr directly correspond to UIMessages, and not all UIMessages have a corresponding ApplicationMgr event. See the API help that comes with TestStand for more information on these events.

Hope this helps,
