accessing a CVI *.uir control

In TestStand, my sequence calls a CVI Action, which is linked to a function
call in a CVI code module. The first such action display a panel from the
CVI developed UIR. The next step calls a CVI code module and tries to set a
control attribute on the displayed panel.

The SetCtrlAttribute calls from CVI no longer work with the displayed panel.
Do I need to go through the TestStand API to set/get control attributes?
Can you provide an example call.

Chris,

I put an example on the ftp site at ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming/
Download UpdateCVIPanel.zip

This example demonstrates how to update a CVI panel at runtime.
The panel handle is stored as a global variable in the DLL.
If you want to respond to panel events, you should use another thread to
catch the events. This will ensure that the panel appears responsive.

You can refer to the Open Panels During Execution example on the examples
database at
www.ni.com/support/epd/

Hope this helps,
Paul
