Adding a variable in a Message Popup
Hi guys, how to get a local variable in a message Popup? I try "string text"+ Runstate.Caller.Locals.foo ... Coz runstate is while program is running, Caller is the calling step and then local variable.
But this give an error. Where to access my local variables while running?
First of all, it depends on the data type of the variable. String can be added "similar" to the way you described. Numeric and boolean has to be cast.
Second, you seem to misunderstand the concept of the RunState-property. If you want to insert a local variable of the sequence you are currently running, the expression should be:
"My Dialog Text " + Locals.<localname>
Don't forget type casts if not working with string variables!
hope this helps,

Adding a variable menu for message mapping
I know that variable menus serve the purpose of a sub-routine in terms of ABAP but I'd like to know if including them will affect the output in ABAP Proxy? I am currently planning optimizing my mapping by defining a variable that has a commong function for my duplicate records. Thanks!
Hello Richard,
After a quick review I think you missed the creation of a reversed DNS record (PTR record) for the new IP address. For SMTP traffic it's really important to have a good PTR record.
Besides that I would invite you to read carefully the topics about "virtual gateways" in you online documentation. Those are a specially created solution for your problem and if I remember right you can even use a secondary IP address on you existing interface for it.
Good luck!
PS: kudos for your marketing department, most of the times those guys start their e-mail cannons without even thinking about any possible side effect on the main production mail flow. :-)

Message popup timeout - time left
Can we get from the sequence context the time left (or time elapsed) of a timeout enabled message popup.
For example,
If the message popup is set to timeout after 120 sec and the operator responded when there are 50sec left for the step to timeout,
does any built-in variable have the value 50 (seconds left) or 70 (seconds elapsed)?
I know there are workarounds like calling Seconds() function in pre- and post-expressions and taking the difference but I wonder if it is already implemented or not.
Thanks.

www.aselsan.com.trThis information is not stored in the step properties. It is possible to change the step type to get this information. The source code for MessagePopup is included with TestStand at <TestStand>/Components/NI/StepTypes/MsgBox/ if you have Labwindows/CVI.
Your suggestion of using Seconds() is much easier to implement and be accurate enough for your use cases.

Is it possible, after the error message popup,
a) I want to print out a message in the report after the flow completed. If yes, how would i do it?
b) I had an existing interactive flow. After the message popup, i want the user to re-enter/change some of the parameters and only continue the flow. How would i do that?
Thank you!Hi faithict,
What error message popup are you getting? Is it a TestStand error, or are you using a Message Popup step to create your own error message?
What is the message that you want to add to the report? Is it error message information, user entered information, step results, or something else? You can find more information about adding results to a report here.
Do you already have something in place that allows the user to set the parameters? If so, you can probably call the same module to allow the parameters to be set again.

Hi,
When using a message popup how best can validation be done?
I need to check that the used has entered 3 letters.
Thanks
SimonIf you use the standard "Message Popup" step you can determine the length of the user input within the Step's Post-Expression.
Say you create a Local variable "input_valid" and use the following post-Expression in the Message Popup step:
Len(Step.Result.Response) == 3 ? (Locals.input_valid = True) : (Locals.input_valid = False)
Then you can expand from there with e.g. a while loop around the Message Popup.
This does not quite fulfil your requirement though as it only checks for the length of the user input and not whether it has three letters.Could as well be two letters and a number. But maybe that is already good enough for you, in this case you wouldn't need a code module. -
Disable/delay Status Message Popup
Is there any way to disable or delay (remind me in 15, 30 minutes, etc) the Status Message popup that appears on the PC screen for errors such as out of paper on the P1606dn printer? Even a minimize button would be a nice touch.
It's fine to pop up the error to let you know the printer is out of paper, but you click ok and 5 or 10 seconds later it pops up again... and again.... and again.
You either feed it paper *right away* or you have to drag the whole status message off to the bottom or side of your screen and leave it open in order to get any work done.
There are times when I don't want to get up from my desk *immediately* to get paper... I'll finish what I'm doing and then grab some paper on the way back from getting a cup of coffee.
Not being able to "tone down" this status message is worse than a car full of kids on a long trip... "can I have paper now", "what about now", "can I have it now"... annoying!Unfortunately that isn't possible at the moment due to Microsoft not adding the option to do so in the operating system.

My Message Popup is reported as:
Verify that the Installed memory (RAM) is 1.96 GB: Passed
Button Index: 1
What is the best way to prevent reporting the Button Index line?For your step in the sequence open Step.Result in Variables pane, right click on ButtonHit, select Advanced>Edit Flags and uncheck "Include in Report" property. It is checked by default for custom step types created as combined types with the Message Popup general type.
That should be done for all instances of these step. When I tried just to incheck the "Include in Report" property in my step type, somehow it is still checked for all newly created steps of this step type. Possible solutions (besides changing them all manually as I described above) are to modify them at drop time from OnNewStep custom substep or to create automated script and run it on your sequences after creation to modify the flag.
Let me know if you need help with these solutions.

How to open a message popup and keep the sequence running ?
I have some steps in my sequence to initialize communication ports that takes a few seconds. As i have the trace off i want to display a message popup to tell the user that the sequence is doing the init. After the init steps are done i want to close the popup out of the sequence without pressing any button.
Is there a possibility in TestStand to do this ?
The normal Message popup stays until a key is pressed and even pauses the sequence while active.
Thank for help.You could call your message popup in a subsequence as new execution and terminate this execution programmatically after your init steps have finished.
In order to do this you have to specify (module) the sequence call step that calls your subsequence:
-Multithreading and Remote Execution = Run in a New Execution
-Settings: Initally Hidden and Tracing disable, Restartable, Close Window when done, Wait for Execution to complete: Do not wait, Process Model Option: Do not use a Process Model
-Store an Object Reference to the New Execution in: e.g. Locals.ExecutionRef
After your Init steps you insert a ActvieX/COM Action Step that terminates the new execution:
-Object Reference: Locals.ExecutionRef
-Automation Server: NI TestStand API 3.1
-Object Class: Execution
-Call Method or Access Property: Call Method
-Method: Terminate
This will terminate your new execution showing the message popup. -
Is there a way to center the text on a message popup
Looking for a way to center multiple lines of text on a Message Popup.
sdrochek3 -
The step type does not export any option to center text that it displays. If centering text is a requirement, you will need to create a custom dialog in your ADE of choice and display that instead.

When I import video and place it into timeline as a raw file with no fx or any added processing I get the message that the video is unrendered and therefore it doesn´t playback?
FCE can use DV or AIC video formats natively. Any other format will need to be converted to one of those two if you want to avoid constant rendering. The clips you use must match the Sequence settings.

Alerts with variables from the messages payload without BPM?
Hi, experts:
Is it possible to define a alert category with variables from the messages payload(for example:order_id ) without BPM?

initially this also talk about BPM but you can check whether you can use the container variable in you case.
How to define the container variable in ALRTCATDEF is mention in above link.

I created a dll that had a message popup (userint.h) using Cvi version 6 on Windows XP, then using the Cvi runtime module and everything was good. I am now using Windows 7 (32 bit) and the latest Cvi runtime module and the dll partly works, does not give any errors, but the message popup does not appear.
My guess is the new Cvi runtime module maybe does not support the older message popup, but really dont know, could be the Windows version; anyone know about this?Hi,
I don't believe MessagePopup has changed since CVI 3.0 as stated here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051V-01/cvi/uiref/cvimessagepopup/
I would recommend stripping it down to the barebones and see if you can get it functioning that way. -
Control Buttons in message popup with Digital I/O
In my Test system the operator can use only the Start Stop Quit buttons on the Panel.
He aint have any mouse
That means I have to provide him wit all the control power thr' these 3 digital I/Ps
There are many message popups in the SequentialModel.seq file
The OPERATOR will respond to them with the 3 H/W buttons.
OK= Green
Terminate = Red
how can I assign my Buttons to all Popup messages on teststand Irrespective of their .(i.e handling them Individually)My plan is to control the whole testsystem, with Hardware buttons (On off S/Ws for Operator) (operator wont be using mouse- it takes timeto scroll & prod is slow).
The H/W buttons r read thr Labview. The file is a member function of the class that I call In teststand seq.
I am trying to read and respond to Teststand dialogues thr' the Operator Interface using these 3 buttons
