How to change column property of sequence steps in custom user interface?

[SonosJ]

Hello,

I can change the column property in TestStand to add columns or edit. But when I run the sequence from custom UI, the changes doesn't carry over. Should this be done programmatically or by set-up?

Thanks for help.

hello sonosJ, 

another user experience a similar issue on this forum: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/test-stand-not-showing-cutsom-columns/td-p/1913813

 Adding axApplicationMgr.UseStepListConfigurations = false; just before axApplicationMgr.Start(); should do the trick

Hi,

I am not sure if this applies to labview steps? Where would I set this properties?

I want to know a little more detail. Thanks

OK, I changed the ApplicationMgr.UseStepListConfigurations = false and the sequence view got rid of Settings and Status columns but it didn't show the new columns I created from TestStand..

axApplicationMgr.UseStepListConfigurations = false;  should be in the initialization routine. Where do you have it placed?

Changes made to the Sequence View in the Sequence Editor will not apply to the UI. 

You can change the columns visible in the Sequence View of the UI by following the steps below: 

- Set the UseStepListConfigurations to false

- Edit the step view by: Right click on Sequence View in UI >>Sequence View>>Properties>>Columns. Here you can edit the step-list configuration of the UI.  

- After you save these changes, they will be saved to the UserInterface.XML (discussed here). If you'd like to deploy this UI to other computers,  you will need to deploy the xml file as well

Yes. That works. Thanks
