automatically run a routine when a menu item is invoked from CIW or schematic window

vtyagi

Hi,

Is it possible to use triggers to automatically run a skill function when a user invokes another skill function from a custom drop down menu.

I can do it hard way by modifying each custom function and adding the piece of code but was wandering if there is any auto trigger I can use to do this whenever someone use those functions. I looked into deRegUserTrigger but it works with 'viewType' (schematic, maskLayout etc) I want something similar for drop down menu items (which are also skill functions developed in house).

 

Thanks !

  • Thanks Andrew !

    I was able to make it work with 'Options' menu but had issues :

     

    1. It worked fine on item directly under main menu but does not trigger callback when used with for submenu item (for example does not work for Tools->AMS->Options but works fine for Tools->Library Manager)
    2. Got error when I try using it on my 'Test' dropdown menu from CIW window (*Error* eval: unbound variable - ciwTestMenu).
