change step name inside a subsequence

[InspectorGadget123123]

Hello,

I have a sequence "Main" and a subsequence "test".

The main calls test subsequence.

The 'disable tracing in sequence' is active on the 'test' sequence.

When running the main I will not see what is happening in the subsequence 'test'.

But I want to change the string of the step name of the subsequence call.

I tried:

RunState.sequencefile.GetSequence.NextStep.Name = "test2"

and also with a vi included in this post.

Hi,

If you want to rename the calling step (ie. the sequence call), you could either do this by expression:

Runstate.CallingStep.Name = "your text here"

Or in your LabVIEW code:

I hope this helps,

Damn.

I was looking the wrong way.

Thanks!

No problem - glad I could help

Hmmm.

I changes the text indeed but only if de sub sequence is finished.

Is it possible to change it while in the subsequence?

Yes - add the following expression to the post-expression of your VI call:

RunState.Thread.PostUIMessageEx(UIMsg_RefreshWindows, 0, "", RunState.Caller, True)
