How to get the current step info while the sequence is paused/On Breakpoint,etc?

[labc]

Hi, all,

I'm using LV2016 64 bit and TS2016 64 bit. I'd like to print some useful status information to user if he pauses or resumes any step at any time. I failed to use UI message to get the step's detailed info such as step name.

The relate event codes are:

UIMsg_ResumeFromBreak:17

UIMsg_BreakOnBreakpoint:2

UIMsg_BreakOnUserRequest:1

Could you tell me what I missed?Thanks.

The reason for the behavior you are seeing is that breaking happens BETWEEN steps, not AT steps. That means that a breakpoint has no "step" object available.

Depending on the purpose, you could for instance check "NextStepIndex" and the get the step which should execute next from the sequence.

Hi, Norbert,

I'm understanding your comment. Could you give me a simple sequence for my reference?

Example: RunState.Sequence.Main[RunState.NextStepIndex].Name

Important thing is to keep track of the correct step group (in the example above, this is "Main").
