Determining if a custom toolbar exist

J Wilwert

Hi,

I am working in cadence 6.1.5.  I am creating and revising custom tool bars in the virtuoso environment.  How, using skill functions, can I determine if a custom toolbar exist in the window, so I can delete it before revising it?  I am hungup in evaluating the expression:

hiGetWindowToolbars(hiGetCurrentWindow()).  It returns a list of "something" of which I am struggling with.  Any ideas?  HELP!!

Many THANKS! in advance,

John Wilwert

    Hi Lawrence,

    Thanks for the quick reply!! 

    I tried your suggestion of : hiGetWindowToolbars(hiGetSessionWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow())), and my custom toolbar was not included in the list!  So, I think I will continue to use the command I had been using.

    Nevertheless,  the part I am struggling with is in the using of the functions you suggested - member, setof, rexMatchup - in the testing of the pattern.  I'm getting tripped up in the syntax somewhere. Can you give a hint or two?

     

    Thanks,

    John Wilwert
