I am using TS 3.1 and want to use TestStand message popup. At run time I want to change the button names and message displayed. I tried using the pre-expression to assign a string but the expression window won't allow me to put a double quote. It gives me an error. I try using a statement before the popup to build the message and try to add a quote but that won't work either. The only way that I have been able to get it to work is to have the buttons pull from a local or parameter and the local or parameter already has the hard coded double quote. I found no way to build or modify
I want to be able to build the message on the fly and teststand won't let me use the double quote. I have tried double quotes, triple quotes and even quadruple quotes and nothin seems to work.
Any ideas? Is this a feature to protect me from something or a bug? It seems a little too restrictive.
I did find a bandaid approach and that was to assign a local to be a single quote and built that local around my built message and button names. Not a clean way to do it but it works.
