Step list configration

hi guys:

    i met a question when i was trying to config the step list , i want to add a row to show the dynamic results , how can i do? 

thanks

Hmm, I know that you can easily embed dynamic results into the Description column of your steps... but as far as having a second row...?

The only way I know of currently is to use the API to edit your step's "comment" text on the fly, which would get you the look you want but I don't know if I'd reccomend it as it might lead to other development/maintenance headaches.

Even if you add appropriate line-break symbols into your name/description text, the step view seems to strip them out when rendering the text into the the display, so this may be an R&D question.

Is there a reason why you need the second line?  You might just want to consider adding another column to the Left/Right of the step's name if you're trying to isolate out the discrete information you're trying to display?

Above is my expect layout ,every step has its own low/hight limit ,and result .it is laconic and clear, l like it.

Now the question is :  i need to add a columns which has almost the same function as "Status" , i guess i need the type "Expression", but i don't know how to feed a variable , and refresh the display before/after a step or sequence

i have tried to feed a string variable to the expression directly , but these columns can't refresh automatically once the UI was build , it  was always a fixed string even i change the value before each step.

hmm, try posting a UIMsg_RefreshWindows message after you change the property value that the expression refers to.
