browse button kills TS

I have a dll, which has a browse button on its front panel. I call this dll from TS, use the browse button to select a file, then end the dll. This works only if I right click on the step and "Run selected steps". If I run the complete sequence with the RUN button, the front panel of the dll appears, but by clicking on the browse button, TS and the dll hangs, and I see "(Not responding)" on the window title of the dll.

 

The dll is compiled with LV2010 SP1, and I call it from TS 2010 (eingine and editor version 4.5.0.310)

 

any help is appreciated!

I understand that you are using the NI Sequence Editor as interface for TestStand.

 

Do you use a standard NI process model?

If not, does your model already use this DLL?

 

Is there a certain reason for the VIs to be compiled into a DLL before included in a TestStand Sequence? You know, using the VIs directly is probably the better way....

we have to use the dll, because this dll is used woldwide on our testsystems, and our software concept doen't allow to use VIs - only frozen software modules. 

 

I don't use any model, and I call this dll once in the entire sequence. On other test systems there is no such a problem, thos systems have the same versions of all NI products and windows.

Can you reproduce the issue with a single step calling the DLL?

If so, can you post the sequence file and the DLL?
