Edit SequenceCall Settings in C++

[mbrost]

Hello,

I've a Step-Type derived from SequenceCall. I'd like to programmatically insert
the step in a sequence. But I cannot access the step's properties like the
path of the sequence the step is supposed to call. I can create the step and
set it's name but that's it. The code (Visual C++) looks something like this:

    step = engine->NewStep("Sequence Adapter", "myStepType");
    step->Name = (_bstr_t)mStepName;
   
    // here I would like to set the path to the sequence to call

    sequence->InsertStep(step, StepCounterSequenceMain, (TS::StepGroups)1);

Does anyone have an idea how that's accomplished? I'm currently using TS 3.5.
Thank you!

Hi Mike,

This is C# code snipped which inserts the Ni-Step SequenceCall to the MainSequence

Step

stepSeqCall = engine.NewStep(AdapterKeyNames.SequenceAdapterKeyName, "SequenceCall");

stepSeqCall.Name = sequence.Name;

SequenceCallModule objModule = (SequenceCallModule)stepSeqCall.Module;

objModule.UseCurrentFile =

true;

objModule.SequenceName = sequence.Name;

seqMain.InsertStep(stepSeqCall, nSeq,

StepGroups.StepGroup_Main);

Hope this helps

Hi Juergen,

thank you for your response. I've seen your other post in which

you explain how to access the step properties. Unfortunately

the type SequenceCallModule is not known. It is unknown.

You don't happen to know whether there are implementation 

differences between C# and C++?

It's in the TSAdp namespace.

Try TSAdp::SequenceCallModule.

And don't forget to import TsAdpApi.tlb

For TS4 it looks like

#import

"C:\\Programme\\National Instruments\\TestStand 4.0\\Bin\\TsAdpApi.tlb" no_implementation rename_namespace("TSAdp")
