Engine.DisplayUnlockTypeDefinitionsDialog

Syntax

Engine.DisplayUnlockTypeDefinitionsDialog( typeDefinitions, allTypesUnlocked, dlgOptions = 0)

Return Value

Boolean

Returns True if any types were unlocked in the Unlock Type Definitions dialog box, even if not all types were successfully unlocked or if the user clicked OK and no types needed to be unlocked because all the types were already unlocked or were not password-protected.

Purpose

Displays the Unlock Type Definitions dialog box, in which you can unlock the specified types.

Remarks

Note TestStand supports password-protecting type definitions to deter unauthorized users from editing the types in the sequence editor. However, any TestStand user can continue to programmatically edit a locked type by using the TestStand PropertyObject API. National Instruments does not recommend password-protecting types as the only way of protecting intellectual property.

Parameters

allTypesUnlocked As Boolean

[Out] Returns True if all the types you passed to the typeDefinitions parameter were successfully unlocked, already unlocked, or not password-protected.

This parameter has a default value of 0 .
