How do you create multiple execution windows for a custom opterator interface

[paulmw]

I am starting to create a custom operator interface for TestStand 3.5 using Labview 8.0.  This is my first exposure to custom operator interfaces (and ActiveX).  The example operator interfaces have only one execution window that changes based on the executions combo box.  My sequence is going to be run with the parallel sequence model (2 test sockets).  So I want my custom operator interface to have 2 execution windows, one for each test socket.  How can I do this?  I created a second execution window but it just mirrors the first execution window.

Hi,

Try this example

Ray,

Thanks for the example, unfortunatly I don't have the tools to see how this was accomplished. "It requires Microsoft Visual Studio 7 with version 1.1 of the
Dot Net Framework to compile. The example source code is written in CSharp."

But the executable worked and it proves to me that it can be done. Now I need to recreate parts in Labview.  Any ideas?

Ok, progress is being made.  By trial and error I have discovered that I need to have multiple execution managers, not just multiple execution viewers.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

BTW/FYI, I am modifing the simple NI labview version of the operator interface

Paul,

Sorry about that. This has come up before which is why I remembered the example.

Can you work anything out from the Csharp code?

No, the csharp code is pretty foreign to me.  Im not a programmer by education by I have a few years of experience with Labview and CVI.
