Sequence Context Ref

[PhillipBrooks]

Are there any difference between these two references?

The monochromatic one comes from \vi.lib\addons\TestStand\_TSLegacy.llb\LabVIEW Test - Sequence Context.ctl. I see this in all of my older code (some from TestStand 1.0). This is defined as a strict typdef.

If you create an Invoke Node that is linked to the legacy monochrome control and then create a control from the reference input of the Invoke Node, you get a 'pink' refnum.

Great question! I don't have an answer but I found another way to create the 'colored' reference. Chose a automation refnum and select TS.SequenceContext as the ActiveX class. I also wondered this when comparing the instructions from my TestStand 3.0 classwork with the latest LabVIEW user interfaces for 4.2.

Hi,

There is no difference.

The "pink" control is a standard Automation Refnum. The "black" control is a Type Def of the standard Automation Refnum. If a subVI uses the Type Def as an input and you wire a standard Automation Refnum to the input of the subVI you will see a coercion dot (and vice versa).

Hope this helps.
