Message Popup in 3.1 often pops up but immediately closes and goes to next step.

I inserted the built in Message Popup step in several places in a long sequence.  I often see it flash up like it is opening but immediately close back down and move onto the next step in the sequence without waiting for me to click a button.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

Do you have a Timeout Button set?  What about any preconditions or run options being changed?  Have you customized the step at all and sometimes you put in your customized step and other times the NI step?  Just seems odd that the behavior isn't consistent.

I didn't set or change anything.  Just used the default OK button for button 1.  It would only happen on the first instance of popping up.  I put it in a loop and it will pop up without a problem every additional time.  I changed the active button to one of the other ones not being used and set the other ones to none and now it will stay up the first time.

That is bizarre that it only happens on the first msg popup with all the defaults.  When you place it does your config look like this?

Yes that is what it looks like.  Without Layout tab and the Aa button next to each button.  I am guessing that is a newer version.

Hi,

Do you know what CVI runtime engine you have installed?

According to MAX it is 8.0.1.356.  Hope that is what you were looking for.

Hi,

I think you might need an earlier RTE version (7.0 or 7.1) which should have been installed when you installed TestStand. Have a look in your TestStand docs in <TestStand 3.1 > \docs and its the Readme.html file.

Unlike LabVIEW runtime engines, the CVI runtime engine is completely backwards compatible.  Installing a newer version of the runtime will overwrite any existing version of the runtime, but this is not a problem, because .dlls or programs compiled in earlier versions will work correctly with the new runtime.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for that bit of info. I had forgotten about that.

Although I have known CVI programs not to behavior as they should do when an updated RTE is installed.

In fact I got a situation now where the panel runs ok on one system but on a second system the panel closes instantly when the mouse is moved over the OK button without it actually doing what it should do. I haven't gotten to the bottom of this because its lower on my priorities.
