Customize Right Click Shortcut menu of Sequence Editor

[lordsathish]

Hi Ppl,

Is there any way to cutomize the right click shortcut menu of the default sequence editor. I know we should be able to it for a custom sequence editor. I was thinkin if we can insert the step templates from the sequence editors right click shortcut menu it will be good.

Thanks,

Sathish

I assume you're referring to inserting a step into a sequence using the right-click shortcut?

That will always display the step types that exist on that machine. If you want to display additional step types then you will need to add them to your step type palette on that machine.

Hey, I am not refering to adding step types. I want the step templates also be listed as another right click short cut menu in sequence editor.

Is clicking and dragging a step from the template window out of the question? It seems like you're asking to duplicate a pre-existing feature and place it into one of the more annoying GUI holdovers from the pre-TestStand 4.0 days.

I'm not aware of a way of doing this without building your own custom sequence editor.

Yes, dragging and dropping is out of question. We want the right click menu to have the step templates ? Is that a possibility ?

You can customize context menus by choose the customize menu item for the toolbar and showing the "context menus" toolbar. However you are limited to the built-in menu items, and there is no built-in menu item that does what you are asking.
