Adding menu to Layout WINDOW

sidm

Hi All,

I am using a legacy skill code that adds a menu when the design in opened in Layout XL but not when it is opened with Layout EXL.

In short the custom menu doesn't appear when using Layout EXL , can you please suggest what could be the possible reason ?

regards

    Your code is presumably using deRegUserTriggers("maskLayoutXL" ...). It would need to also register the same triggers using deRegUserTriggers("maskLayoutEXL" ...).

    Thanks for the reply Andrew.

    Sorry my bad.  I just re-checked. It is not a skill code but part of custom code in .cdsinit file which loads the contexts on virtuoso startup.

    Can it be the case that context loading is supported only for Layout XL & not EXL ?

    Context loading is not specific to the application used - it may of course be that the contexts loaded do the deRegUserTriggers and are not doing so for EXL. Contexts are a binary representation of SKILL code (it's a snapshot of the SKILL Virtual Machine).

    I don't think I have enough information to really give you advice. If it is a registered menu trigger, you could look at deGetAppInfo("maskLayoutXL")->userMenuTrigList and see what has been registered, and the register them yourself using deRegUserTriggers("maskLayoutEXL" nil thatMenuTrigger). Of course you may need to also look at the _userPostInstallTrigList for user-postinstall triggers too.

    If this doesn't help, please contact customer support as it will be much easier to see your setup than to guess.

    Andrew.
