Hello richjoh!
There are a couple places to "rename" your custom step type, and they
all affect different areas. To get a meaningful name in the .ini file,
you actually have to right click on the custom type and rename it. To
customize the name of the type as it appears in the insertion palette,
you must right click the custom step type, go to properties, and then
to Menu tab. Here, you can set the name of the step as it will appear
in the insertion palette (Item Name Expression) and select or create
which folder it will reside in (Group). Finally, if you change the
"Default Step Name Expression" on the General tab, you will be changing
the name of the step as it appears when you place the step into your
sequence.
For all of these entry fields, you can simply put a literal string.
You do not need to use the resStr() function. However, if you would
like to, you can find where these strings returned from the resStr()
function are defined in the
<teststand>/components/NI/language/english directory, and add
your own entries.
