Controling Opus Objects Window

RDRamirez
RDRamirez over 11 years ago
These commands are from the Virtuoso command window:

_pteHiObjectSetExpanded(dwindow('pteObjectPalette1) "Blockages" nil)


_pteHiObjectSetExpanded(dwindow('pteObjectPalette1) "Blockages" nil)

How and where can I put these commands?

Thank you,

Roger

    Roger,

    The functions I mentioned are new in IC616 - I just checked. Also, in IC616 the behaviour has been changed so that the palette items are collapsed by default anyway.

    I just wrote some code which enables this in IC615, but uses some private functions and so I have encrypted it and added some checks so that it doesn't do anything in IC616 - other than print a warning that it is redundant.

    To use the attached file, use:

    load("~/skill/abCollapseAllObjects.ile" "1036035")
    abRegAutoCollapseObjectsOnOpen()

    Of course, change the path in the load function to where you've installed the file. The second argument must remain as it is a password for the encryption.

    Having done this, any time you open a layout window, it will attempt to collapse the items in the objects palette. It doesn't do it when you push or pop the layout window - the assumption is that if you've expanded it, you want to stay expanded in that window.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
