Calling WPF from TestStand

[thumble]

Hello, I'm not a TestStand programmer so I don't know how NotifyStartOfModalDialogEx works, but I'm quite sure your WPF should be linked to the parent (that should be TestStand) to have a chance to be modal (like in the code from codeproject).

I would also modify the code this way:

public static void ShowSerialDialogWPF(SequenceContext seqContext, out string serialNumber, out bool continueTesting)
{

...

using(SerialDialog userInterfaceDialog = new SerialDialog())

{

System.Threading.Thread uiThread = new System.Threading.Thread(() =>
{
    userInterfaceDialog.ShowDialog();
});
uiThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA);
uiThread.Start();
uiThread.Join();

serialNumber = userInterfaceDialog.Serial;

continueTesting = userInterfaceDialog.ContinueTesting;
}

...

}

I will try it.

Just a Quick question. Why are you using the using() statement?

Hi, because I guess the window object is IDisposable, and so will be disposed anyway.

It seems like the STA problem asked in the beginning returned. Cant figure out how to make the WPF STA without calling another thread which I assume is the problem to follow the windows forms format.

Also I cannot find a WPF dialog example for Teststand, only Forms.
