Display "About NI TestStand..." from LabVIEW

[rpodsim]

I'm creating a LabVIEW UI that calls TestStand to run sequence files and I want to include a menu Item to display the "About NI TestStand..." window, but I can seem to figure out to tell TestStand to launch the window from LabVIEW. 

Can anyone direct me to the appropriate API call or example?

In the full featured UI that ships with TestStand it shows how to add and use the menus or submenus from the Sequence Editor.  I would look in there and mimic what they are doing.

The Example you mentioned was informative, but I see can't seem to find a way to display the "About NI TestStand..." dialog. The list of commands to bind to menu itemsm via Insert Command into Menu.vi, has just about every item in the TestStand help except the About item.

This is the dialog I'm looking for.

The About dialog is not built into the engine, but there are engine methods to get all of the information displayed on it.

See the API help for the following:

Engine.VersionString

Engine.GetLicenseDescription()

Engine.GetProductRegistrationInfo()

Hope this helps,

Ahhh.... That would explain why I can't find it. 

I kinda assumed the it would be included, since the same window is included in the LabVIEW Run-Time.

Thanks for the help.
