C++: Create a SequenceContext Object

[frankne]

Hello,

i wrote a C++ DLL for TestStand one of the functions has the parameter: "TS::SequenceContext *seqContext".

I also wrote a test application which loads the named DLL to debug and to see if the DLL works. But to call the DLL-function correctly I need a SequenceContext Object. How can I create this?

Here is a part of the function code:

 int __declspec(dllexport) DMM_Konfiguration(TCHAR* pResource , TCHAR* pZielVariable , int BufferSize, TS::SequenceContext *seqContext)
{
    AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
    

    int numprop;

   CString temp;

   numprop = m_TSProperty->GetNumSubProperties( "Locals" ) ;

    for (int i=0; i<numprop; i++)
    {
        temp.SetString(m_TSProperty->GetNthSubPropertyName("Locals",i,0));

        temp....
    }

   return 1;
}

Hi frankne,

If if you just want to the debug your dll, you don't need to write a test app at all.

Just set a desired breakpoint in your code. Make sure at that your are using the right path and that there is the pdb file!

Set in your debug settings the path to your  local SeqEdit.exe

Now you can launch TS automatically by pressing F5 in VC++, select your seq-File or step  and let it run.

Your maschine will stop at your breakpoint.

Hope this helps.

Hi juergen,

i added the Seqedit.exe in the debugger properties. But during debugging the breakpoints are disabled. Do I have to change something else?

I'm using VS2005 and writing a unmanaged C++ DLL. I also tried to attach my project to the seqedit.exe (Debugger -> Attach to process)

The pdb file exists and is in the same directory as the dll.

Hi Frank,

I have written a small dll to test it.

Instead of Editor (Managed Code!!)  I have used MFC TestExec.exe (Unmanaged)

Add the path to the debugger:

C:\Programme\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\UserInterfaces\NI\Simple\C++ using MFC\Release\TestExec.exe

In my VC8 it will work.

Greetings
