Programmatically Changing Step Color

[SreeRanjaniSG]

Hi All,

I have a tool to programmatically add few steps in my sequence, I wanted to change the color of the steps that I add programmatically. I referred to this post for changing the step color manually, I wanted to do a similar thing programmatically. Please let me know how this can be done. 

Thanks,

I'm not sure there is an API for that unless you have a handle to the SequenceView control.  I haven't delved into that control yet but there may be some way to change these settings through that API.

One thing you could do is "edit" the xml file directly where those settings are stored.  By edit I mean do some xml parsing and changing of values.

The files are stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\National Instruments\<TestStand>

They are titled SeqEdit.xml and UserInterface.xml.  I'll let you guess which is used for what.

Hope this helps,

Thanks  ~jiggawax~,

This helps. I am planning to go with the XML file. I will check and get back.

Thanks,
