Display Status Message in TestStand's Sequence Editor

[mfitzsimons]

Is there a way to display a status message (Lower Left of Sequence Editor screen) while TestStand is executing using a TestStand function or ActiveX call? There are nice example programs that show how other programs can display information in TestStand but no examples of TestStand updating the status message or progress bar.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,
You can use the ActiveX method to easily add your text to the status bar from a TS step. Look in the sequential process model, under the TestReport sequence. There is an example step called, "Display Generating Report Msg" that has an ActiveX call using the UIMsg_ProgressText eventCode. Just add your text to the (stringDataParam) Parameter and when the step executes, your text will appear in the lower left corner of the execution window.
