Where is my menu

bobbygang

Hi Andrew,
  I wrote a menu interface sricpt and I loaded it in .cdsinit. But when CIW open, the variable of the sript is loaded but the menu doesn't appeared. But if I load it in CIW, the menu will appear. That's why?
  Here is my code:

hiOpenWindow()
;;; creating the "Raise Current Window" menu item
LibraryMenu= hiCreateMenuItem(
?name 'LibraryMenu
?itemText "Library Manager"
?callback "hiRaiseWindow( hiGetCurrentWindow() )"
)
AnalysisMenu = hiCreateMenuItem(
?name 'AnalysisMenu
?itemText "Analysis"
?callback "hiRaiseWindow( hiGetCurrentWindow() )"
)
Parameter1 = hiCreateMenuItem(
?name 'Parameter1
?itemText "Simulation"
?callback "ff=2"
)
Parameter2  = hiCreateMenuItem(
?name 'Parameter2
?itemText "Circuit Type"
?callback "hiRaiseWindow( hiGetCurrentWindow() )"
)
Parameter3  = hiCreateMenuItem(
?name 'Parameter3 
?itemText "Schematic Variable Initialization"
?callback "hiRaiseWindow( hiGetCurrentWindow() )"
)
ParameterSubMenu = hiCreatePulldownMenu(
'ParameterSubMenu
""
list( Parameter1  Parameter2  Parameter3 )
"" ;;; empty help string
) ; hiCreatePulldownMenu
ParameterMenu= hiCreateSliderMenuItem(
?name 'ParameterMenu
?itemText "Parameter"
?subMenu ParameterSubMenu
)
;;; creating the Navigation pulldown menu
hiCreatePulldownMenu(
'trPulldownMenu ;;; menu handle
"Ocean" ;;; menu title
list(LibraryMenu ParameterMenu AnalysisMenu)
"" ;;; empty help string
) ; hiCreatePulldownMenu
;;; inserting the pulldown menu in the CIW
hiInsertBannerMenu(
window( 1 )
trPulldownMenu
0)

Best Regards,
Bobby

    Bobby,

    Make sure you call ciwMenuInit() before doing the hiInsertBannerMenu - that will ensure that the CIW menus have been initialized (normally this happens after the .cdsinit has been loaded, but explicitly calling makes it happen earlier).

    Not sure what the hiOpenWindow() is for in your code though.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

       Thank you very much!!! I have a holiday before so I answer you until now. I use your method and the menu appears. It's useful.

       Besides,hiOpenWindow() is another program of the il file. I just forgot  deleting it.

    Regards,

    Bobby
