Change/add Button HotKeys

[Skydt]

Is it possible to change or add Hotkeys to the messagepopup menu.

Currently i only see 2 buttons be hotkeyed, but i want more hotkeyed buttons 🙂

Maybe even change their hotkey properties to something else...

Hi

The "Three Button Dialog.vi" is the only dialog window you can edit. And its possible to change the key navigation for those buttons. Besides that you can create your own dialog window with an ordinary vi. You do this by creating a vi and make setup the front panel as the dialog box you wish. You can then use the key navigation for each button to assign a hotkey for each button. When that is done you would have to go to the properties page of the vi and choose Window Appearance in the pull down menu. There you set up the vi to use the dialog appearance.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi

I have just been aware of the error I have made. To be honest I assumed it was the LabVIEW forum I had entered.... ups!!!

But you are still able to use my answer if you are using TestStand with LabVIEW, then you will be able to make your own dialog window in LabVIEW as described.

Besides that when you use the message pop-up in TestStand the only option you have is use the TAB key to scroll between the buttons and then press enter.

Hope this is off use.

Thx for the answer.

Im not familiar with labview, so i dont think that will be the case.

I can write the messagepopup  easily in .net, but i want to keep the calls to other dlls etc to a minimum, in order for the people that will take over after me, so they have an easier job adjusting/altering the test sequence.

So far i have come to the conclusion i cant alter this, and have started writing my own Dialog Boxes(Vers. 3.1).
