The SequenceFileView Manager control performs the following tasks to manage how other visible TestStand User Interface (UI) Controls view and interact with a selected sequence file:

  • Designates a sequence file as the selected sequence file.
  • Tracks which sequence, step group, and steps users select in the sequence file.
  • Tracks which variables or properties users select in the sequence file.
  • Displays aspects of the sequence file in the visible TestStand UI Controls to which the SequenceFileView Manager control connects.
  • Enables visible TestStand UI Controls to which the SequenceFileView Manager control connects to change the selected file, sequence, step group, and steps.
  • Provides editing and saving commands.
  • Provides methods for executing the sequence file users select.

An application needs one SequenceFileView Manager control for each location, such as a window, form, or panel, in which you display a sequence file or let users select a sequence file.
