How do I configure my custom step type to call its Express VI configuration dialog box each time I double click the step?

By double clicking on a step in the TestStand Sequence Editor the Properties dialog box pops up.
How to change this behaviour?
I would like to configure my step type so that each time I double click the step, the Express VI configuration dialog box pops up, instead of the properties.
One Idea is to use custom activeX substeps, for example, Antonio Lie mentioned the substep "OnNewStep" in my last post. Is there also a "OnDoubleClick"?
Does anyone know a list of activeX substep that can be used? Or are there other ideas?
Thanks a lot!!!

Caribe,
 1. Currently it is not possible to change the behavior for double clicking on a step. It is a good idea though, and we will be consider to add it to the next versions of TestStand.
 2. "OnNewStep" is the only "special" substep. It was implemented for internal use and it is not documented yet.
 3. If you want to know more about substeps you can red the Reference Manual, Chapter 13 is a good place to start.
 4. I want to make clear that "OnNewStep" is called every time you insert a new step. The sequnce editor gets the substeps list and if it finds the "OnNewStep" substep in the   list It calls it using the API. The substep can use any adapter type, It does not have to be the ActiveX adapter.
Hope it helps.

    How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it? I don't want to have to X out of the dialog box after I am done.
    Thanks

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
    created in JS using the Dialog object.

  • How do I stop the check plug in page from popping up every time I double click the firefox desktop icon?

    Two pages pop up when I double click the firefox icon on the desktop, the home page and the check plug in page. How do I stop the check plug in page from repeatedly popping up when I double click the firefox icon?

    ''I uninstalled AOL IM and disabled MetaStream 3 Plugin but that didn't work either. I don't currently have viewpoint media player that I'm aware of. ''
    '''''MetaStream 3 Plugin''' MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 Unknown plugin Research''
    This is apparently the Viewpoint Media Player plugin '''npViewpoint.dll'''. Even though you don't see the Viewpoint Media Player listed in your list of installed programs, it might be listed as a different application.
    Disabling the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager removes it from the about:plugins list but apparently does not stop the PluginCheck from finding it. You should re-enable the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager list of plugins. You can then find and remove the plugin file '''npViewpoint.dll''' from your computer, using the following instructions, from this thread at mozillazine:<br>

    The Plugin Check page listed about eight plugins with status listed as "unknown plugin." It turns out that the very last one on the list, ''''MetaStream 3 Plugin'''', which dated all the way back to 1/13/2004, was the one triggering this "Update" Nag. Here's what I did.
    #Enter about:config into the address bar
    #Locate the preference 'plugin.expose_full_path' by typing it into the filter bar
    #Toggle that preference true (right click, toggle)
    #Enter about:plugins in the address bar
    #The resulting "Installed Plugins" list will now show the full path and file name of the associated plugin DLL file.
    #Simply go to the directory of the suspect plugin (using Windows Explorer or whatever) and rename the DLL file (I just appended '.OLD' to the DLL file name, e.g., ''''npViewpoint.dll'''.OLD')
    #Quit firefox (file, exit) and restart.
    #If you don't get redirected to the Plugin Check page then problem solved. If you do get redirected to the Plugin Check page then the plugin you just nuked (by renaming the DLL file) should be gone from the list.
    #Repeat with the other "unknown plugins" until you don't get redirected upon Firefox startup.

  • Instrument I/O assistant configuration dialog box does not appear

    Hello,
    In the function pallette both input and output subpallettes have instrument assistant express vi.But, when I put in the block diagram window Instr I/O assistant configuration dialog box doesnot appear.I double clicked instr assistant icon but it did not work. Labview version is 7.1.Does anyone has clue to overcome this problem?
    Phylab
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello phylab,
    The Instrument I/O Assistant (IIOA) is used for easily communicating with GPIB instruments in Labview. For Labview version 7.1, the IIOA is available on the shipping reference driver CD. It should be automatically
    installed when you're prompted to enter the driver CD, through setup.exe. Is this your first time using it or has it worked in the past? Do you also have the NI-VISA and NI-488.2 drivers? And you installed the LabVIEW cd before the driver cd, correct? The fix should be to uninstall and reinstall IIOA from the device driver CD.

  • How can I create a custom step that does nothing but make calls to a dll

    What I'd like to end up with is a Custom step that
    1. Takes several string parameters
    2. Makes several calls to functions in a DLL
    3. Returns and stores error codes returned from the function
    I've been through the KB article "How Do I Make a Custom Step Type".
    This got me about halfway there; while helpful, it didn't provide a
    reference for some of the questions I had, specifically:
    1. What sort of sequence action type should I start with (to use as a template)?
    2. If I start with a "Call Executable", do I need to specify the module when I incorporate the step into the sequence?
    3. How does one pass parameters in and out of a custom step type?
    4. How does the step type report progress/errors to the report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Mike

    Hi,
    To interface to a DLL you will need to use either the DLL Adapter or the CVI Adapter, not the Call Executable adapter.
    Have you been through the Using LabWindowsCVI with TestStand manual. This should answer all your questions, all the chapters are relevant.

  • HT3887 how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function F keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
    Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
    Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

  • Print Configuration Dialog Box

    Hello all,
        I want to enable the print configuration dialog box pop up when a button is clicked in vi.
    This is standard windows printer configuration dialog box which pops up when any file (xls,txt etc.)
    is tried printing.Any suggestions please ?
    Also i have attached the standard windows print dialog box, just incase.
    Thanks in advance,

    In general use a property node with nothing attached to it in LabVIEW with the property Printing >> Default Printer or Printing >> Avalaible Printers to return the printers configured with Windows. One of these string items can be wired into the printer input of the report generation Print Report VI to select a printer.
    In regards to the Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 ActiveX controls, the printer selection from the dialog seems to be determined by the hDC output, which stands for hardware device context. If you modify the demo posted above to send in the appropriate flag value, either an informational or a direct hardware device context handle is returned in the ICommon property hDC. Input the flag value 512 to the ICommonDialog property Flags to return an hardware device context handle from the hDC property, or 1024 to return an informational device context.
    More information about how to extract any meaningful information from this I32 number can doubtlessly be found at msdn.com, but I'm not sure personally how to do it. Specifically, here are a few posts to start your search at:

    Common DialogControl Constants
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cmdlg98/html/vbidxCommonDialogContr...
    Alternatively, consider avoiding the Common Dialog Control calling a dll that will directly return the selected printer name from a dialog:

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • I need to bookmark a site where a new sesion is created each time I go to the site. How do I bookmark just the general web address?

    I have a site that I use for work where each time you go to the site to log in it creates a unique session address but I need to have the general address bookmarked. I can't bookmark the site until after I perform the search.
    So I type https://worldcat.org/wms and begin the search. That address is added to as the search progresses to the log in screen.

    Hello,
    In the Library:
    * Bookmarks [[Image: Bookmarks-29]] > Show All Bookmarks
    ** Note in the Library, you can also manually add a bookmark by right clicking in the main pane and selecting "New bookmark" (as long as you are in one of the Bookmarks Menu, Toolbar, or Unsorted Bookmarks folders)
    * If you click on an existing bookmark in the Library, the information stored in that bookmark should be located in the bottom pane. You can edit the link there.

  • Now that I've upgraded to Lion, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse it acts as if I've right clicked.  How do I get back to the way it was?!

    I am working on two macbooks and an imac.  I upgraded all the software last weekend and am now running all three computers on Lion.  Over the last week, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse (whether it be the "pad" mouse on the macbooks or the standard mouse on my imac) it acts as thought I've right-clicked.  How do I stop this insanity?!  I want my old no-right-click mouses back!
    Thank you for any guidance!

    Try this,
         Go to to the Trackpad System Preference and look at the Point and Click tab.  
         Uncheck the box that says "Tap to Click"
    I found my track pad to be way too sensitive and I was finding myself in web pages I did not choose to go to.  Unchecking that box will make it so you have to press the track pad to make it click something as opposed to just tapping it.  It is more effort but also less sensitive to random taps.

  • How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • How can I make double clicking the space bar to make a period less sensitive

    Hi! When I double click the space bar, it makes a period, which I love. What drives me crazy is that it thinks I'm double clicking the space bar quite frequently, so it'll insert a period in the middle of the sentence. How can I make my space bar less sensitive? I know that I can turn off the period shortcut, but I would prefer to leave it on, just with a less sensitive keyboard setting. Help!

    It sounds like the space key is getting worn out. You may need to get the device exchanged under warranty if it's less than a year old.
