Model Plugin - OnTheFly Step Results: Operating on AdditionalResults

[Mr._Jim]

Hi all,

I've been banging my head against the wall on this and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out.

I'm writing a TestStand plugin that uses the "Model Plugin - OnTheFly Step Results" entry point.

What I'm trying to do is iterate over each element in Parameters.Results and check for the presence of an additional result with a specific name. Say for example, "SpecialAdditionalResult". Then I want to retrieve the value of "SpecialAdditionalResult".

I've gotten as far as

Parameters.Results[Locals.i].GetPropertyObject("AdditionalResults",0)

...but then once I have the property object, how do I access an additional result by name?

I'm thinking it has to be something simple that I'm missing...

Thanks very much,

Mr. Jim

Try this:

Parameters.Results[Locals.i]->AdditionalResults[Locals.Foo]

Where Locals.Foo = SpecialAdditionalResult and is a String.  However, if it doesn't exist it will throw an error.  So you may want to do a propertyexists on it first.

or this will work too:

Parameters.Results[Locals.i]->AdditionalResults[Locals.j].Name

Ah, I knew I was missing an operator! It's been too long since I've used C++.

Last night when I was staring at it too long I was thinking, "That seems to be a pointer. How do I get the thing it points to?"

Thanks a lot Jiggawax!
