Allow embedding of 'Edit' UI into step settings panel for custom step types

Status: Duplicate Submitted by Trusted Enthusiast Trusted Enthusiast on 06-16-2016 06:52 AM 4 Comment

I was pretty surprised that this isn't already possible or that there wasn't an idea in the ideas exchange for it. The idea is to allow custom step types to embed their 'edit' dialogue into the configuration tab for the step settings. At the moment you have to click a generic 'edit <step type>' button to launch a dialogue.

 

Instead of:

Embed Dialogue.PNG

 

Have:

Embed Dialogue 2.png

 

This would make custom step types much more user friendly and save unnecessary clicks/steps required to custom and bring the experience of configuring steps more in line with the built-in step types.

 

I appreciate that it might require a little more effort on the developers part (e.g. posting new values on value change instead of on 'ok'/'cancel') but it could also help to avoid some issues like 'hanging' TestStand when the dialogue is closed and the panel close isn't disabled/handled.

Change in LabView typedef should be automatically resolved by TestStand

Status: Duplicate Submitted by Member on 11-28-2012 11:08 AM 2 Comment

It is very common to use a typedef as input or output terminal for any VI. If such VI is used in TestStand either as custom step or in a sequence, then teststand requires a relink of step/sequence whenever the typedef values are modified.

 

Teststand need to resolve this differences automatically, rather than expecting user to relink sequences.

Ability to remove button on Message Popup and performs other customizations

Status: Duplicate Submitted by on 10-06-2010 10:14 AM 2 Comment

It would be nice to have the message popup be more generic so that it can be used in more situations. For example to notify the user that there is a wait in progress. It is currently not possible to remove the button from the Message popup.
