The Application Manager control performs the following basic operations, which facilitate using the TestStand Engine in an application: Processes command-line arguments. Maintains an application configuration file. Initializes and shuts down the TestStand Engine. Logs users in and out. Loads and unloads files. Launches executions. Tracks existing sequence files and executions. Manages licensing. An application that uses the TestStand User Interface Controls must have a single Application Manager control that exists for the duration of the application.

Returns the run state of an execution.

The value obtained from this method does not necessarily correspond to the value obtained from the Execution.GetStates method. The Execution.GetStates method returns the instantaneous state of the execution. This method returns the current state the TestStand User Interface (UI) Controls display. When you write a user interface that uses TestStand UI Controls, National Instruments recommends using this method or the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState property instead of directly calling the Execution.GetStates method on the execution. A slight delay exists between when the instantaneous state of the execution changes and when TestStand updates the state this method returns to reflect the change. This occurs because the state this method returns does not change until TestStand processes the UIMessages involved, thus allowing for synchronization of the updates necessary for displaying an execution. Use the following constants with this data type: ExecRunState_Paused –(Value: 2) The execution is suspended. ExecRunState_Running –(Value: 1) The execution is running.

A Borders object specifies the frame and draggable borders that surround a control. A frame is a thin rectangle that surrounds a control on all sides. A draggable border is a rectangular strip of configurable thickness you can place on any combination of the edges of a control. When the application handles the BorderDragged event for the control, users can drag the borders to resize or move the control. When a control fills a rectangular view area of an application window, you can enable the draggable borders to implement splitter bars that resize the view. Although you can implement splitter bars in some environments without using draggable borders, some environments do not provide any other way to create a splitter bar. For other environments, creating a resizable view using draggable borders is sometimes simpler than using a separate splitter bar. You can also disable the BorderDragged event for a control to use borders for their cosmetic effect only.

Use Command objects in applications to implement a user interface element that performs a standard action, such as opening a sequence file or executing a set of selected steps in a sequence. A Command object determines the dimming, visibility, shortcut key, and caption for the menu item, button, or checkbox that invokes the command. The Command object also provides the implementation of the action, which it performs when you call the Command.Execute method. In many cases you can use a TestStand Utility Library function, such as InsertCommandsInMenu , instead of Command objects to create menu items that invoke the commands you specify. You can also call the ConnectCommand method on a TestStand manager control to connect a command to a TestStand button or checkbox control. To create Command objects, call the ApplicationMgr.NewCommands method to create a Commands collection. You specify the commands to create with the CommandKinds enumeration constants. When you call the Commands.InsertKind method, you can also specify a TestStand manager control. A command you create uses the specified manager control to determine the currently selected sequence file, execution, sequence, or steps. According to the selection and the type of command, the command determines the state of its properties, such as enabled and visible, and determines which items the command operates on when it executes. Some commands do not require a manager control, while others require a specific manager control. Refer to the CommandKinds enumeration for more information about which manager controls work with specific commands. You can also create commands using the following methods: ApplicationMgr.GetCommand ExecutionViewMgr.GetCommand SequenceFileViewMgr.GetCommand Commands.InsertKind

[In] Specifies how the method reports an error that occurs when executing the command. When this parameter is False , the method returns the error to the caller. When this parameter is True , the method calls the ApplicationMgr.ReportError event to report the error.

Returns text that describes the command to the end user. The default text value is localized for the currently selected language. Typically, this text labels the menu item or button that invokes the command.

[In] Specifies the character(s) you want to precede the accelerator character, when one exists, in the display name the method returns. The accelerator prefix for menu items and button labels varies according to the programming environment. For example, LabVIEW uses "_" , LabWindows/CVI uses "__" , and C#, Microsoft Visual C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET use "&" . When you are not assigning the display name to the label of a user interface element that supports accelerators, pass an empty string. [In] Pass True to append characters that represent the shortcut key for the command to the display name the method returns. When the command does not have a shortcut key, the display name remains unchanged.

You do not handle menu events for items this method inserts. [In] Specifies the position or menu item identifier (resource ID/command ID) of the menu item before which the method inserts the new menu items. To insert at the end of the menu, pass -1 and pass True to the byPosition parameter. [In] Pass True when the menuItemToInsertBefore parameter contains a zero-based menu item position. Pass False when the menuItemToInsertBefore parameter contains a menu item identifier (resource ID/command ID). [In] Pass True to show shortcut key text for each item this method inserts that has a shortcut key. Typically, you use this method to build context menus which do not automatically implement shortcut key handling. Therefore, show shortcut keys only for items that also appear in the main menu bar, unless you explicitly provide shortcut key handling for items that appear only in the context menu.

Inserts a new Command object or objects into the collection.

This method uses the menu name the currentMenuName parameter specifies to determine whether to insert entry point items that specify a matching menu hint name when you pass the following values to the cmdKind parameter: CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPointInsertionMarkerCommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPointInsertionMarkerCommandKind_ExecutionEntryPointDefaultMenuInsertionMarkerCommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPointDefaultMenuInsertionMarker When an entry point does not specify a menu hint name or the menu hint names do not match any of the menu names listed in the allMenuNames parameter, the method creates commands to insert the entry point menus when you pass the following values to the cmdKind parameter: CommandKind_ExecutionEntryPointDefaultMenuInsertionMarkerCommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPointDefaultMenuInsertionMarker Specifies the type of command to insert.

An ExecutionView Manager control performs the following tasks to manage how other visible TestStand User Interface (UI) Controls view and interact with a selected TestStand execution: Designates an execution as the selected execution. Tracks which thread, stack frame, sequence, step group, and steps are selected in the selected execution. Displays aspects of the selected execution in the visible TestStand UI Controls to which the control connects. Enables visible TestStand UI Controls to which the control connects to change the selected thread, stack frame, sequence, step group, and steps. Generates events to notify the application of the progress and state of the selected execution. Provides debugging commands. Updates the ReportView control to show the current report for the selected execution. An application must have one ExecutionView Manager control for each location, such as a window, form, or panel, in which you display an execution or let the user select a current execution.

Returns the set of Execution entry points that the model sequence file for the selected execution defines. The collection includes only entry points that set the Sequence.ShowEntryPointForExeWindow property.

This collection can change when the selected execution changes.

When this property is True , closing the selected execution replaces the closed execution with another execution not displayed in any other ExecutionView Manager control. Otherwise, the selected execution becomes NULL .

Returns the run state of the execution.

The ExecutionView Manager control generates the ExecutionViewMgr.RunStateChanged event when this property changes. The value this property obtains does not necessarily correspond to the value the Execution.GetStates method obtains. The Execution.GetStates method returns the instantaneous state of the execution, while the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState property returns the current state the ExecutionView Manager control displays. When you write a user interface that uses an ExecutionView Manager control, National Instruments recommends using the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState and ExecutionViewMgr.TerminationState properties instead of directly calling the Execution.GetStates method on the execution. A slight delay exists between when the instantaneous state of the execution changes and when TestStand updates the state this property returns to reflect the change. This occurs because the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState and ExecutionViewMgr.TerminationState properties do not change until TestStand processes the UIMessages involved. Thus, use the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState and ExecutionViewMgr.TerminationState properties instead because these properties reflect what the user interface actually displays. Use the following constants with this data type: ExecRunState_Paused –(Value: 2) The execution is suspended. ExecRunState_Running –(Value: 1) The execution is running. ExecRunState_Stopped –(Value: 3) The execution has finished executing.

Returns the run state of the execution.

Use this collection to obtain the selected property objects or change the selected property objects for the selected execution. TestStand User Interface Controls connected to an ExecutionView Manager control, such as the VariablesView control, automatically set this property when you select variables and properties. The ExecutionView Manager control also generates a ExecutionViewMgr.PropertyObjectSelectionChanged event when this property changes.

Returns a collection of selected property objects.

Returns the collection of selected steps.

Use this collection to obtain the selected steps or to change the selected steps. TestStand User Interface Controls connected to an ExecutionView Manager control, such as the SequenceView control, automatically set this property when you select steps. The ExecutionView Manager control also generates the ExecutionViewMgr.SelectionChanged event when this property changes. You can select steps only when an execution is paused.

Returns the collection of selected steps.

Specifies the current SequenceContext of the ExecutionView Manager control.

The ExecutionView Manager control automatically sets this property when pausing an execution. You can read and write to this property only when the selected execution is paused. When you write to this property, the sequence context must belong to the selected execution.

Specifies the current SequenceContext of the ExecutionView Manager control.

Specifies whether the SequenceView controls that connect to the ExecutionView Manager control display steps in all the step groups or only steps in the current step group.

Use the following constants with this data type: StepGroupMode_AllGroups –(Value: 2) Displays the Setup, Main, and Cleanup step groups. StepGroupMode_OneGroup –(Value: 1) Displays only one step group.

Specifies whether the SequenceView controls that connect to the ExecutionView Manager control display steps in all the step groups or only steps in the current step group.

Returns the termination state of the execution.

The ExecutionView Manager control generates the ExecutionViewMgr.TerminationStateChanged event when this property changes. The value obtained from this property does not necessarily correspond to the value obtained from the Execution.GetStates method. The Execution.GetStates method returns the instantaneous state of the execution, while the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState property returns the current state the ExecutionView Manager control displays. When you write a user interface that uses an ExecutionView Manager control, National Instruments recommends using the ExecutionViewMgr.RunState and ExecutionViewMgr.TerminationState properties instead of directly calling the Execution.GetStates method on the execution. A slight delay exists between when the instantaneous state of the execution changes and when TestStand updates the state this property returns to reflect the change. This occurs because the state this property returns does not change until TestStand processes the UIMessages involved, thus allowing for synchronization of the updates necessary for displaying an execution. Use the following constants with this data type: ExecTermState_Aborting –(Value: 4) TestStand is aborting the running execution. ExecTermState_KillingThreads –(Value: 5) TestStand is ending the threads in the execution. ExecTermState_Normal –(Value: 1) The execution is not terminating. ExecTermState_Terminating –(Value: 2) TestStand is terminating the running execution. ExecTermState_TerminatingInteractive –(Value: 3) TestStand is terminating the running interactive execution.

Returns the termination state of the execution.

Specifies the foreground thread of the selected execution.

You can read or write to this property only when the selected execution is paused. When you write to this property, the thread must belong to the selected execution. Although you can set the foreground thread of an Execution object, National Instruments recommends using this property so connected TestStand User Interface Controls are updated to reflect any changes made.

Specifies the foreground thread of the selected execution.

Stores data associated with this control.

Stored data is cleared during the shutdown process.

Stores data associated with this control.

Stored data is cleared during the shutdown process.
