Sequence.GetEffectiveType

Syntax

Sequence.GetEffectiveType

Return Value

SequenceTypes

Use the following constants with this data type:

  • SeqType_Callback –(Value: 1) The sequence is a Process Model callback.
  • SeqType_CfgEntryPoint –(Value: 5) The sequence is a Configuration entry point.
  • SeqType_ExeEntryPoint –(Value: 3) The sequence is an Execution entry point.
  • SeqType_Normal –(Value: 0) The sequence is not a callback or an entry point.
  • SeqType_ReservedCallback –(Value: 7) Only the Sequence.GetEffectiveType method returns this value. The sequence is one of the predefined callbacks TestStand reserves.

Purpose

Returns the effective sequence type.

Remarks

Typically, the effective sequence type is the same as the value of the Sequence.Type property. One exception occurs when this sequence belongs to a sequence file that has a model file, and that model file has a callback with the same name as this sequence. In this case, the effective type is SeqType_Callback . The other exception occurs when this sequence has a reserved name, in which case this method returns SeqType_ReservedCallback .
