Open Sequence File for Viewing, but don't execute (C#)

[KyleThielk]

Hey All,

I am working on a custom Operator Interface and one thing I'm trying to add is the functionality to display a list of all tests to be run in the near future.

I currently have a recursive function that is invoked the second the loaded sequence file begins executing.  It will walk through the steps in cleanup, main, and setup (done with <sequence>.getNumSteps() and then a for loop with <sequence>.getStep()).

When I encounter a sequence call that is local to the current sequence file I simply call my recursive function passing it

<sequence>.SequenceFile.getSequenceByName(<sequence specified in step>);

I have gotten this to work with great sucess.

I am however having trouble getting this to work when the sequence called is in a new sequence file.  Is there anyway to open/load the sequence file just so I can analyze all steps in this sequence file?

I have tried this.axApplicationMgr.OpenSequenceFile(); but haven't figured out how to get the operator interface to return to the previous sequence file.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to figure this one out. 

I used a reference to the engine: axApplicationMgr.getEngine()

and then used getSequenceFileEx() and releaseSequenceFileEx()

Make sure for both of them under options you use: GetSeqFile_DoNotRunLoadCallback and ReleaseSeqFile_DoNotRunUnloadCallback resepctively.
