How do i get the FileGlobals from the User Interface?

[Thomas_Richter]

Hello,

I'm trying to extend the CVI operator interface of NI with an overview page with some test information I store and update in the FileGlobals. How can i access them? All i got is the engine reference and the pre-defined connections to the Active-X controls, right? Can i define new connections to CVI controls to any variable within Teststand?

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Which TestStand version are you using. If version 3.0, are you using the new style OI with the TestStand UI Controls.

Do you wish to display the Static values found in the SequenceFile when first loaded or are you looking to display dynamic values as the SequenceFile is executed.

Hi Ray,

I'm using Teststand 3.0 with the new controls. I update the FileGlobals by the property loader at runtime thus I need the dynamic values. I used the "Full-Featured" OI sample.

Is there a possibility to access any property I want, and not just the predefined "TSUIEnum_CaptionSources" and similar?

Regards,
Thomas
