Reading from CustomStrings.ini

[crouseb]

I am a new user and I am not sure how you use the CustomStrings.ini to display messages to the operator.  I want to read the proper  string from the .ini and display the message in a popup window.  I have added a test line to the .ini, which I have attached, and have created a "message popup" step within a test sequence.  My problem is the I am not sure how you return the custom string -- I have tried to call the Engine.GetResourceString method within the popup message expression, but this returns an error.

Is there guidelines that you have to follow that I am missing.  Do the custom strings have to be load into local variables first, and if so how is this done?

Thanks,
Bryan

When you edit the expression, go to the Operator/Functions tab and select Functions>String>ResStr and add the category and tag. In your case , you just have to have ResStr(TestSection, Test01).

THANKS!  The reference manual was a little misleading - or I'm not that bright.... One or the other.
