Customize TestExec.exe Login Prompt

[testdesign]

I am using the "Simple" Test Executive (TestExec.exe) that NI provides to run Test Stand.  When I open the TestExec.exe the "Login" window pops up (please see attached file).

I want to replace this "Login" window with a custom dialog box I created in LabVIEW as a VI.  I opened up the project file (.lproj) for the TestExec.exe but I cannot find where this "Login" window gets called.

How can I replace it with my own custom dialog box?

Thanks so much!

When the application manager calls the Start method your front end callback is being executed.  The front end callback contains a sequence called loginlogout and that is what is calling the dialog you see.

If you want your own functionality I recommend looking at these links:

Hope this helps,

That window isn't controlled by TestExec.exe.  It's controlled by FrontEndCallbacks.seq.  On my system, it's located here:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2017 (64-bit)\Components\Callbacks\FrontEnd\FrontEndCallbacks.seq

It should look like the login.png attachment

In the loginlogout_by_hand.seq ‏from the forum below, that shows steps for how to get a new user and "enter" the password.

You can make a LabVIEW VI that executes those steps and gives you the look/control that you desire.
