hypertext viewfile skill question

linbo

 Documentation for the viewfiles like html and hypertext don't include examples of the call to the actual file to display.  Does anyone have some sample code of how and where to call the actual file?  This is simple, right?

 

blart=hiCreateWindow( 'default "hypertext" "testwindow")

hiDisplayWindow( blart)

 

    gets me a wonderful blank window.   Now what?  I have an html file, test.html.  Tried inserting "test.html" instead of "testwindow" and same result. 

 

view("test.html")

   shows me the innards of the html file as a text file.  Obviously view and hiDisplayWindow do not work in a similar way.

It's clear I'm missing something fundamental, can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,

  • If it's a "hypertext" window, you need to create a file containing something like:

     <A href=http://www.cadence.com> Cadence Design Systems</A>

    (i.e. an anchor tag), and then use:

    hiSetViewfile(blart "text.txt")

    where text.txt is the file containing the anchor. You'll then get a hypertext link - when you click on it, it will use the browser you have set up in your Options->User Preferences.

    If you have a file containing HTML, then do:

    blart=hiCreateWindow('default "html" "testwindow")
    hiSetViewfile(blart "test.html")
    hiDisplayWindow(blart)

    I suspect that's what you want? This is (sort of) covered in the documentation, but an example would probably help, I agree.
