Is it not possible to get (or use) a lookup string which includes a reference object?

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get the full Property Object lookup string for the "xl" property seen below at the bottom of the picture.

I can get as far as the Additional Results[0] (which is a reference), but after this it does not seem possible to get to the "xl".

"TS.SequenceCall.ResultList[0].TS.SequenceCall.ResultList[0].TS.SequenceCall.ResultList[0].AdditionalResults[0]"

 If I get the interface for the "xl" object, and then ask for the "Location" with reference to the "MainSequenceResults", I get back an empty string.

Getting the property objects for the containers and properties under the "xl" object also give the same result when I call "GetLocation(...) with the MasterSequenceResults property as the TopObject.

 So is it not possible to have a lookup string which includes a reference object?

Thanks,

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,

It is possible, but to get that value you will need to use the TestStand API. I have attached a sequence file that demonstrates how to get values of an object reference by using AsPropertyObject and then the associated GetVal method. It's a lot easier to understand through an example. Let me know if you have any questions about the example sequence file.

Corbin,

That was a great example - I appreciate you taking the time to do that for me.

Thanks!
