Hi,

They are some useful examples supplied with teststand in the examples folder. Try CreateDeleteUsers.seq for example. This has a precondition checking if which button has been pressed from step "Select to create or delete user".

Maybe you could post a small example sequencefile of what you are trying to achieve.

thanks ray,

actually i tried using the examples folder but since i use an evaluation version of teststand i dont have many examples in that , im not sure if its the problem of the version or the software that i installed but anyways im giving you the sample code of wat iam trying to do as an attachment to this.

what i actually require is that

the execution of the second step should be accomplished only when the "DELUX" button is clicked in the message pop that comes out initially ,

its only a part of the whole application but this query should clear my whole application


thanks and regards

Hi,

In your precondition you are checking for "DELUX" (RunState.ThisContext.Locals.PURCHASE==(\"DELUX\")"),

whereas you have actual filled the variable with "DELUXWASH"
(PostExpr = "Locals.PURCHASE = ((Step.Result.ButtonHit == 2) ?\n\"ECONOMYWASH\" : \"DELUXWASH\")")

Also there appears to be a problem with "....== 2) ?\n\"ECONOMYWASH..." you seem to have \n in the expression.
