Hi Israelsze1,

Do you actually want to change the name of the sequence file or sequence? This is the information that is displayed in those windows. You can programmatically change the name but if the goal is just to change how the window looks so you can display the additional information then I would suggest adding a field on your operator interface that displays this information.

You cannot change the appearance of the sequence editor but TestStand ships with several prebuilt operator interfaces. You could add several fields on one of these operator interfaces to display the information you're interested in. When the sequence is loaded you could send a message (uimessage) to the operator interface telling it to update the new fields.

Please refer to Chapter 9 Creating Custom Operator Interfaces of the TestStand Reference manual for more information. You can access this by going to Help >> Search the TestStand Bookshelf from the sequence editor.

I hope this helps!! Please post back with any further questions.

Hello Sarah
I wish to change only the Sequence Title.
In normal, it shows the Sequence path, and wish to add some more information to it.

(one option is to change Sequence name to the sequence name + more information, but i dont like it)

i believe it should be done during "SequenceFileLoad"
can you help me with this?

regards

Simon -
The title that the sequence editor displays is hardcoded internally based on the name of the file. There is no way to customize the SequenceFile object to instruct the Sequence Editor to display something different.
