Syntax

ApplicationMgr.BeginEdit( editedFile, editKind, objectsToEdit)

Return Value

Boolean

Returns True when the application cancels the edit operation. When the application cancels the edit operation, do not modify the objectsToEdit parameter.

Purpose

Call this method before using the TestStand API to edit files the Application Manager and SequenceFileView Manager controls display. This method generates an ApplicationMgr.BeginEdit event to notify the application about the edit.

Remarks

Always make a corresponding call to the ApplicationMgr.EndEdit method after you modify the objectsToEdit parameter. Call the ApplicationMgr.EndEdit method even when the application cancels the edit. Do not call the ApplicationMgr.BeginEdit or ApplicationMgr.EndEdit methods when you execute a Command object to perform an edit. The Command object automatically calls the ApplicationMgr.BeginEdit and ApplicationMgr.EndEdit methods.

Parameters

editedFile As PropertyObjectFile

[In] Specifies the file you are editing.

editKind As EditKinds

[In] Specifies the kind of edit you are making.

objectsToEdit As Object Array
