Teststand record results flag changing on its own

[MrBliss]

Teststand 4.2.

Unticking record results for all steps in my sequence file. Save the file. Run the sequence and the record results tick appears back in some of my sequences.

Am i doing something wrong???

Thanks

Please give us step by step instructions for how to reproduce what you are seeing. There are no known issues like this. Is it possible you accidently pressed the undo hotkey combination (i.e. Ctrl+z)?

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply Doug.

Been looking around and trying different things with Sequence file callbacks.

I was using SequenceFilePostResultListEntry to generate a string of results to send to a remote machine via windows message queues. Removed the sequence everything happened as i would expect it. Adding the SequenceFilePostResultListEntry callback had the record results flag changing again. Perhaps i am using the callback incorrectly.

Would adding this callback change the record results flag for certain step types???? I was hopeing to be able to use the flag and callback to record results of selected steps rather than setting a variable on every step so that i can create my message string.

Thanks

Adding a callback should not effect any existing steps that aren't part of that callback. What steps exactly are you talking about that are getting their settings changed? Are you saying the steps in your main sequence get this setting changed when you add the callback? I'm not seeing that at all and there really is no mechanism which would cause that to happen. Inserting a callback just creates a copy of the callback sequence in your sequence file. It doesn't edit or effect other sequences.

Since your callback is modifying this setting, perhaps it is the code in your callback that is changing the setting and leaving it set?

What exactly are you trying to do. Please be as specific as possible and perhaps I can suggest a simpler alternative. There are many features and settings to effect how results are collected in TestStand. There is likely a much simpler approach that will work.
