Is there a way to programmatically read TestStand type version information?

[Bob Rafuse]

In the Type Palette Properties page for a TestStand type, you can specify a
version number for the type.

Is there a way to programmatically query the type version of an instance of
a type at run-time?

Thanks,

Hi Bob,
since the instance of a step doesn't have a version, you have to get the version of the type of step.
To do this in TestStand itself, I first have to find out what type the step is, using the step itself as an activeX reference. From the step type, using it as a property object I get the typeversion.

Hope this helps.

I've attached an example in TestStand 2.0.1 which gets the version of a statement step in MainSequence - go to Mainsequence and Run Mainsequence (i.e. not using process model)

It does. Works great. Thanks!
