comment, "sequence file global"

[TonyJ]

I'm running a Win2K (8186 Controller) machine running TestStand 3.0 and LabWindows/CVI 7.0.  How can I place comments in the comment field of my Sequence File Globals?  There are fields on the column headings labeled Field, Type, Value, and Comment. The column labeled Comment does not have a box in Properties... to place a comment.

Hey Tony,
You should be able to double click on the Sequence File Global, just as if you were going to change the value, and in the dialog that comes up there should be a comment box to enter comments.  It is located near the bottom of the dialog.  Is this missing in your sequence editor?

 Pat,
   I don't have a Comment field in my sequence editor for the above mentioned.  There is  however a  column  heading labeled comments though.

Hey Tony,

When you double click on the Sequence File Global, does a dialog come up allowing you to change the value and properties of the Global?  If this is the case could you post a screenshot of what this dialog looks like?  Also I just want to double check, this is all in the TestStand Sequence Editor, and not a TestStand Operator Interface correct?  I have pasted a screenshot of what mine looks like below.

 Pat,
   See below.  I guess we're talking about different things.  See my screen shot.  I'm looking at putting comments in column labeled "Comments".

Hey Tony,

I apologize.  I did not realize you were wanting to set comments on array elements.  I believe this is the difference.  You should be able to set comments on individual variables.  Unfortunately it is not possible to set comments on the array elements (unless they are containers).  You can set a comment on the actual array itself.  If this is a feature you believe would be pretty nice, I would recommend submitting some product feedback for this feature.  You can submit product suggestions here.
