Columns Property Page

The Columns property page contains the following controls, which you can use to configure the columns on the SequenceView control:

Note When you configure columns, you must provide a unique column name for each column in the SequenceView control.
  • Column List —List of columns in the SequenceView control.
    • Add —Adds a new column and assigns the column a unique default name.
    • Remove —Deletes the currently selected column.
    • Up —Moves the currently selected column up one position.
    • Down —Moves the currently selected column down one position.
  • Column Properties —These options apply to the currently selected column in the column list.
    • Name —The name of the currently selected column.
    • Caption —The caption of the currently selected column.

      If the caption is a resource string tag in the string section the application uses to localize the control, the localized string replaces the caption at run time.

    • Type —The type of the column. The available column types are Name, Index, Description, Execution Flow, Status, and Expression.
    • Width —The horizontal size of the column in pixels.
    • Autosize —The width of the column to adjust to fill the control when the size of the control changes. This option is enabled only when you select the Make Columns Always Fit option on the Appearance property page .
    • Visible —When you disable this option, the column becomes invisible.
    • Expression —Defines an expression TestStand evaluates for each step at run time and places the result of the expression in the column.
      Note This property has no effect unless the column type is Expression .
    • Text Color Expression —An expression that returns a numeric color value . The column evaluates the expression at run time to determine the column text color. When the expression returns -1 , the column uses the default color specified in the Step Names option on the Fonts and Colors property page .
    • Background Color Expression —An expression that returns a numeric color value . The column evaluates the expression at run time to determine the column background color. When the expression returns -1 , the column uses the default color specified in the Background option on the Fonts and Colors property page .
