Hi,

Have you created them at the sequencefile level or at Global level.?

If you load your sequencefile that was opened at the time you created your types, are they now available? If you are then you have created them at SequenceFile file level.

If you used the toolbar icon next to the StationGlobals icon then thats the global level and would be available to all sequencefiles.

If you use the View control on the SequenceFile window then thats the SequenceFile level and any type created at this level will only be available in the SequenceFile it was created.

Hope this helps

Regards

Ray Farmer

Hello Ray,
all my own created step types for example, "can_exit", "can_set_path", "can_send", "can_receive", "sort_spec", "sort_relay_list" and "return_burning_status"

Hi,

Looking at your ini file, I couldn't find where you had specified your code module for any of your steptype.

Eg for "can_exit", I would have expected to find [can_exit.TS.SData] with modulePath = <to something>, funcName = <your function name> etc but there was nothing. All I could find was an EditSubStep, so there was no PostSubStep either.

Which is probably why you are having to specify it when you insert the steptype into your sequence.

You did specify a code module eiher via the Specify Module or as a PostSubStep when you were creating the StepType?

Also, once you have done this you can set the disable properties, "Can Speicify", so that when you insert the StepType, you dont get an active Specify Module menu item for the step.

Regard

Ray Farmer

Hello Ray,

Yes I specified the code modules eiher via the Specify Module when I were creating the StepType?

I think this behaviour is strange.
