How to create a new window having button associating with MPP templates?

frogconsultant

Dear All,

 I am starting using the 6.x virtuoso and I would like to improve my setup by having my custom MPP templates directly access through a separate window instead of accessing through the pull down menu. Is it possible to do it? Can someone point me to a starting script to create this new window?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hi Frogconsultant What I understood from your question is basically it is a duplicate form of existing MPP form without a pull down menu and having only the MPP that you have created.There are several ways to do it, One suggestion I can give you If you have already created few MPP , then put them in .cdsinit file so that when cadence will be starting up those will be loaded. Now Create a form with multiple buttons having the proper MPP name as you want. For each button's callback you can write a function like this procedure(function(Multipartpath_Name) hiiSetCurrentForm('leRodMppForm) ; to select the MPP form in the background leRodMppForm->rodMPPTemplate->value = Multipartpath_Name ; to select the MPP from the list leHiCreateMPP() ; to draw the MPP );procedure Here Multipartpath_Name is a string variable which is the name of MPP mentioned during creation of the MPP Example: For each MPP button you can write callbacks like this function("MPP_M1_M2") function("MPP_M2_M3") , Please do remember that MPP_M1_M2 or MPP_M2_M3 , these names should be same as you have mentioned the MPP name during the creation of them because this name will choose the correct MPP template from the list. Hope It will solve your problem, if I have understood the question. If you have any more doubt in this please let me know. Thanks Amit
