How do I use the SetValString method to edit a local TS variable from withing a VB dll?

[Maz]

The following VB snippet yields a runtime error: "Object variable or With block variable not set"

Public Sub SetMyString()

dim object As PropertyObject

object.SetValString "locals.mystring", 0, "IRIS"

End Sub

Typically you need to pass a property object in or pass the sequence context to the method.

Public Sub MyMethod(ByVal oSeqContext As TS.SequenceContext)
Dim oObject As PropertyObject
Dim oMyLocals As PropertyObject

Set oObject = oSeqContext.AsPropertyObject()
Call oMyLocals.SetValNumber("Locals.MyNumeric", 0, 99.9)
...

Maz,

You may also take a look at the example titled "Creating a Visual Basic ActiveX DLL and Calling it from TestStand", located at:

I think you'll find it really helpful.
