I apologize in advance for this post. It will more than likely be long winded but I'm hoping some knowledgeable folks here will be able to answer these questions before I spend hours running in circles.
I'm looking to add some functionality to the shipped NI Full-Featured Operator Interface.
First off is there anyway to access Local Sequence variables without forcing my Sequence to Post Custom UIMessages? I have many pre-existing sequences that would eventually be run on the new Interface, and going back and editing these sequences so they post custom UIMessage would be out of the question.
One feature I would like to add is a pre-populated List of Tests to display on the User Interface. Only tests of a certain Step type would be added to the list, and as the steps executed, the list would be traced through. One method I considered involved enabling "On the Fly Reporting" and editing the XML structure, then I could just display the report. This however does not allow me to Pre-populate this list, and does not (I think) allow me to only display results for steps of a certain type.
Thank you for your time.
