Changing Path And Dll-Filename of CVI-Step in a SequenceFile,

[Paul_Buehlmann]

Following the TestStand-Example "Sequence Builder.seq" we have created our own SequenceBuilder, which let us generate Sequence-Files from our SQL-Server-Database. Unfortunatly I could not find out how to Change the DllName and Path for our CVI-Steps.

We want to change the Dll-Name and the Path in SequenceFile.

If it is possible  to  do it with TestStand -Active-X –Steps, this would be the best way. If it is only possible,  to do it in CVI-Code, this will also be ok.

Thank you for your Help

Hi Paul,

would you be so kind to upload your "E4_SequenceBuilder.dll" file, too. I'm going to have a look on it.

I think this tutorial would be interesting for you, too:

Hi Matijas,

Thank you for your answer. I attached the whole Project (including the dll, without the database of course). I've read your suggested document. But I could not find out how to Change the Property 'RunState.Sequence.Main["SetVariables"].TS.SData.Call.LibPath'. I think this property is from older TestStand-Versions.

I inserted a Label-Step With the Name "ChangeDllName Could Be done here" in the Sequence-File "E4_SequenceBuilderE4.seq" .

Best Regards

Paul

Hi Matijas, Hi Juergen,

With yours suggested links I could find out how to change the dllName. I simply had to Insert a StatementStep with the following expression:

Locals.ClonedStepRef.TS.SData.Call.LibPath="MyNewDllName.dll"

(ClonedStepRef is the Reference of my actualStep which I want to Modify)

It is always the same with TestStand: the solution is so easy, if know it.

Thank Matijas and Juergen your hints were exactly what I needed

Best Regards from Switzerland
