Cadence SKILL GUI Modification to ADE (Analog Design Environ

Fri Aug 13, 2010 7:32 pm   

Hi,

I want to add a custom menu pulldown to ADE, loading my Skill code
in .cdsinit, and for every ADE instance I call, for the menu to be
auto-loaded.

Here's my code so far with assistance from others:

procedure( UserSchMenu()

hiCreatePulldownMenu( 'myMenu
"myMenu"
list( myItem )
) ;hiCreatePulldownMenu

hiInsertBannerMenu(hiGetCurrentWindow() 'myMenu 99)
) ;proc

Then, put a trigger for the procedure to load,
e.g.:

deRegUserTriggers("analogArtist-schematic" nil nil 'UserSchMenu)


My problem is that with the previous statement, it causes this error:

*Error* User post install trigger is not a symbol.


Can someone please give me some pointers?


Thanks!!!!!!

Oops I found my error -- just a stupid typo.

However, does someone know how to obtain the viewtype name of any
arbitrary ICFB window? Ie how to find out that ADE viewtype is
""analogArtist-schematic" ??? (someone told me this but in the
future I will be modding other windows as well)

Or -- is there a list of viewtypes somewhere in some PDF or webpage
file or help file in ICFB ?


Thanks!

Ok, another question: How to handle passing parameters to callbacks?

ie :

hiCreateAppForm( blah blah ?callback 'myCallBackFunc )


procedure (myCallBackFunc( a b c) ) ; proc


How to pass params to callback from "hiCreateAppForm" thing?


Thanks!

It's easier to use:

hiCreateAppForm( blah blah ?callback "myCallBackFunc( param1 param2)")

Save the commands in a file & use load("......") in .cdsinit to load
this menu file.

Best regards.

deGetViewType(hiGetCurrentWindow())

or you can use the window(<number>) function to get the windowID of an
arbitrary window

deGetAllViewTypes() will return a list of all the registered
viewtypes.
