Update Station Globals from LAbWindows/CVI user interface

[ramjeev]

Hi,

I am having a requirement such that i need to update a station global variable to true or false based on the click on a button present in User Interface.

My Setup:

Labwindows/CVI 8.5

TestStand 4.2.1

Please advice me.

Hi,

first thing, why have you posted this query twice, http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Update-Station-Globals-from-CVI-UI/m-p/1317023

to be able to update a StationGlobal, you first need to get a reference to the Engine, this can be done using ApplicationMgr.GetEngine()

Once you have that reference you can then get a reference to the StationGlobals by the use of Engine.Globals(). this returns a PropertyObject.

So now you can use the SetVal methods to set your boolean, eg PropertyObject.SetValBoolean("MyBoolean",  0,  True)

hope this helps
