deal with teststand message popup

[sean_tan]

when I add a message popup in my sequence,I need two button: Ok(button1) and Cancel(Button2).and set timeout.

My question is like this; I need get the status when execute,if uesr click ok,the sequence should go to next step,the other stauts,the sequence should abort executing.

example:

Message Popup

if(RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup"].Button1Label=="OK")

   call sequence   //this action need execute when click "OK"

else

   break        //this is a action ,without any connection of message popup

end

but no matter what button I click ,the sequence always execute break,that's means the if condition can't get the status of message,where is my error.

any one help me ,thanks very much

Hi,

You need to use

if(RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup"].Result.ButtonHit == 1)

 call sequence

else

 break

end

RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup"].Button1Label will always equal OK but the string is actually ""OK"" which is why you are seeing it as false.

hope this helps

Hi Ray,

I have a need to get the label of the button pressed.  (in this example to read "OK" or "Cancel".  

How do you do that?

Thanks

Hi,

If you are getting the value in the pre or post expression of the MessagePopup step then use (as an example):

Locals.Buton1LabelString = Step.Button1Label.GetValString("",0) this will return ""OK""

likewise for Button2.

If you are getting the value outside of the step eg in a step before the MessagePopup step then try

Locals.Buton1LabelString = NextStep.Button1Label.GetValString("",0) this will return ""OK""

Hope this helps

Hi Ray and thanks,

My meaning was to obtain the label of the key which was pressed by the user, not the lable of button 1 or 2.  

Thanks

Hi Rafi,

I thought I must have not fully understood your question.

But I must still confess I still dont understand. which key would this be, the one on the keyboard?

Hi Ray,

You have a pop up messag with 3 buttons to select.  I would like to know the string content of the label which was selected by the user.

for example

   button 1 -  "Ver A.01"

   button 2 -  "Ver A.05"

   button 3 - "Ver C.80"

If the user pressed button no.3, then I would like to get the string "Ver C.80".

I know how to work around it by using the key no. Pressed, but I prefer to get the string directly, if possible.

Thanks

Hi Rafi,

Is this what you are looking for.

Hi Ray,

 YES EXACTLY.

Thank you so much.

I was not familiar with the function 'evaluate'.  Thanks for introducing it to me.

Best Regards

Hi Ray,

The result of the step is ""Rel 01""  and not "Rel 01".    

Is there a simple way to get rid of the extra quotes?

I can do it, of course, by stripping it out with mid() function but wonder whether there's a simplier way.

Thanks

Rafi.
