Telling a UI when a Test is running

[SercoSteve]

We are running a basic LabView UI to the TestStand engine.  We want to be able to disable elements on our UI when TestStand is running a test.  We can do this whebn running from an execution entry point by posting UI Messages, but we also need to be able to disable elements on our interface when a test is being run outside of an execution entry point.

Any thoughts appreciated

Hi Steve,

You can use the UIMsg_StartInteractiveExecution and UIMsg_EndInteractiveExecution for everything else.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your response.  Not sure I explained myself to well.  However I can refine my question having read your post.

Is it possible to modify TestStand to post a custom UI Message to our UI when an interactive execution starts and stops? Or is it posting the messages you mentioned in your post already?

Regards

Hi Steve,

It should be post them are already, but depending on your UI, that might not be trapping for them. A UI base on the full version should be handling them.

TS is sending them already StartExecution and EndExecution, created Application Manager callbacks to handle the events and everything is good.

Thanks again for responses
