Merry Christmas for everyone!!
Background:
I am a testing engineer who has not received training on the NI TestStand system. Due to work reasons, I am using this software and have been researching knowledge about step types recently.
According to the official NI document:
https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/18/creating-custom-step-type-edit-tabs-in-t...
I tried to create a custom step type using C# , and then loaded this step type into the SeqEdit interface of TestStand software. SeqEdit loaded it normally and displayed the pane I created, as shown below:
However, when I started the demo program under UserInterfaces\Fullfeatured provided by TestStand software, pressed Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert key combination to switch to Edit mode, and added the custom step type I created, I couldn't find any item in the menu to display the pane.
In the same way, I loaded TestStand's native steps such as FTP Files, which will have a menu item for users to open the configuration panel and perform configuration.
I know that the Step Settings pane in SeqEdit is non open content in NI, which results in the UserInterfaces\Fullfeatured demo program not having a Step Settings pane, but instead providing interactive operations in the form of menu items in the menu.
Question:
Why did my C # step type panel not appear in the right-click menu of step for users to open? How is its correct approach implemented? Or is it a language difference? (I know many native steps are created in CVI/C++/LabView)
Can anyone help me answer this question?
