Detect which button was selected from a message popup dialog box

[Ray.R]

I'm sure I've done this before and cannot remember how I did it.

I even searched the forum for posts but could not find any.

I have a popup message that asks if a certain LED was lit.

There are two buttons "YES" & "NO".

I want to know which button was selected in order to assign a Pass/Fail result for the LED Test.

How do I accomplish this?

Step.Result.ButtonHit

It will 1 or 2 or more if you have more than 2 buttons

Hi Omar!

Well done you are right.

I just want to attach for your "Zealous" friend a link to an example

Thanks guys 🙂

Yes... it triggered some of my memory cells..

It's the lack of cafeine  😉  (I have to blame it on something) .

Juergen,

Which version of TS were you using, as I could not open the sequence file with TS3.1

However, it is okay, since I'll find my way the the info provided.

(strangely enough, I can pick the correct solution, but cannot give kudos... 😮  I'll log in tonight from another PC)

It does not appear to be a feature that was available in TS3.1  😞

 

And the error message from TS while trying to open the sequence file.

I created a dll in CVI that passes the selected button as a result.

Ray,

I believe the property has existed going back to version one. Are you sure you are looking at the properties of the actual popup step?

Pass or Fail on which button was selected. How do you accomplish this?

The popup step does not by default Pass or Fail.

Are you trying to read in a which button in a step after the popup? Then you will need to read it from the result list.

Locals.ResultList[?].ButtonHit

But I would try configuring the Status Expression of the actual popup step that you ask it the LED was lit to something like 

1==Step.Result.ButtonHit?"Passed":"Failed"

Just found it.  Thanks guys.  This is good to know in the future.
