How Can I recuperate Value from TestStand UI ExpressionEdit Control in Labview

[yeito]

Hi,

I developed a Step Type with labview and in the edit step I have a problem with my labview code. When I write for exemple locals.texte ( locals.texte = "test")  in the UI expresionEdit Control , the property node DisplayText return "locals.texte" like result and not "test". how can I use it to display the contents of the variable.

I am assuming you are wanting the value of the variable rather than the lookup string.

try

Thank you for your answer.

yes this is exactly what i want, i just tested your example in my edit step type I have an empty value, and if I call the VI in TestStand it works. is what I need to do a special configuration for my stepType to work?

[RayFarmer]

can you post your step type project, if you can post it as LabVIEW 2015.

[yeito]

here are my VIs , my project is too bih so I will post just the two VI of the StepType ( EDIT and Post Step) with 14 like Version of LabVIEW because I don't have version 15.

Ok I'll have a look.

I did create a StepType using the modified VI and it worked for me. The only extra thing  I did was to make the VI a dialog in the VI properties so that it displayed the front panel when invoked by the Edit..

I tried your Edit VI and it worked for me.

How are you passing the value back into the Step?

[yeito]

In the parameter name  "String " I put a "Step.Text"  and Text is a String 

[RayFarmer]

So is Text a step property?

As in my example where I have Response?

[yeito]

Yes  Text is a step property, as in you example where you have Response, is what there is another configuration to do ?
