Does anyone know how to add a Skill-created GUI component (ie pulldown menu) to the menu of ADE ?

Something like:

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

      hiInsertBannerMenu(hiGetCurrentWindow() 'myMenu 99)


but instead of "hiGetCurrentWindow()", how do you specify you want ADE ?

I'm loading this in .cdsinit so that every new ADE window will have my custom menu.


Thanks!
 

I think you've got the wrong section...

Anyway, put your command in a procedure,
e.g.:

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)

Check more in the documentation on how to use this SKILL command.

A good place I know to post SKILL questions is at:

Thanks very much -- it was very helpful.

I have one final bug (or mistake etc):

It now says (after I load the skill code with my ADE session up and going):

*Error* User post install trigger is not a symbol



Do you know how to solve this?



EDIT: Shoot shoot, stupid typo. Thanks alot!!! -- it worked just fine.


In the future, I'll be trying to add custom menu's to stuff other than ADE -- do you know how to figure out the viewtype name of windows ? Ie how do you figure out that the ADE window is analogArtist-schematic ?


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!
 

hiCreateAppForm( blah blah ?callback 'myCallBackFunc )
Click to expand...

It's easier to use:

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

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

Best regards.
