BindKey for "Area Selection Controls"

Xegotronix
I am looking to assign bindkeys to switch between "Area Selection Modes" in Virtuoso. mode 1: Enclosed Figures + Vertex mode 2: Enclosed and Crossed Figures + Edge Only I know how to set bindkeys, but I do not know the skill functions to set the above options. Can anyone help me with this please? Many Thanks, Yaser

    Hi Yaser

    You can use the following procedure. Pressing F10 will switch between the 2 modes.


    Best regards
    Quek

    procedure( CCSsetAreaSelection()
       let( (curWin curMode)
          curWin=hiGetCurrentWindow()
          curMode=curWin->fullSelectionMode
          case(curMode
             ("enclosed"
                curWin->fullSelectionMode="enclosedAndCrossed"
                curWin->partialSelectionMode="crossedEdge"
             )
             (t ;"enclosedAndCrossed"
                curWin->fullSelectionMode="enclosed"
                curWin->partialSelectionMode="Vertex"
             )
          ) ;case
       ) ;let
    ) ;procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "F10" "CCSsetAreaSelection()")

    Hi Quek, Thanks for the script. But it doesn't work! It causes error messages in icfb. I found geToggleAreaSelectOption() does what I want: hiSetBindKey("Layout" "F3" "geToggleAreaSelectOption()") Cheers, Yaser
