some thing about the user menus in ADE!(complete!)

imagesensor123

 Hi,

    After refering to the analogartist reference, i have copie the simui.menus to my home directory( or work directory), and modify it to add a menu in Tools by add this line ("mytool" ?callback()) in the Tools section of the simui.menus file, but this menu did not turn up when the analogArtist stratup. it seems that the default menus are loaded in ADE. Does anyone know the reason? when i use the command ddGetStartupAll("menus"), the result shows ("~/menu"), i think it is the menu folder which i placed in my home folder. i got quite confused about how to add a user menu in ADE, thanks for explaining this method to me.

         by the way, i have load this menu by adding this line "load("~/menu/simui.menus")" in my .cdsinit.

Regards,

zfeng

  • Hi,
       thanks for replying so fast. you have given an explain in detail, but why one can't add a menu item directly like the syntax in the menus file,
    i add this line in the Tools section
     ("Tools"
         `( "here i delete the parametric analysis"
           ("Corners" ?callback (sevCornersTool ',session) ?form t ?disable (sevNoEnvironment ',session))
           ("Monte Carlo" ?callback (sevMonteCarloTool ',session) ?form t ?disable (sevNoEnvironment ',session))
           ("Optimization" ?callback (sevOptimizationTool ',session) ?form t ?disable (sevNoEnvironment ',session))
           ("separator")
           ("Calculator" ?callback (sevOpenCalculator) ?form t)
           ("Results Browser" ?callback (sevOpenDRLBrowser)! ?form t)
           ("Waveform" ?callback (sevOpenPlotWindow ',session) ?form t)
           ("Results Display" ?callback (sevOpenPrintWindow ',session) ?form t)
           ("Job Monitor" ?callback (sevOpenJobMonitor) ?form t)
           ("userform" ?callback (zfShowImagerForm ',session) ?form t)
           ("add user..." ?callback (zfShowImagerForm ',session) ?form t)
    the two lines (red color)  don't work, and the "parametric analysis" still turn up in ADE main window. so i think modify the menus directly is not a available approach. Another, i don't know why there is a " ' " in every callback function, such as callback (sevOpenPlotWindow ',session),
    could you please explain this callback syntax here.

    and about your method, i also have a question, you have changed the top level menus in the ADE window, is it necessary or just for distinguishing the original one? can we still use the "Tools" and append the original with the "my_menu"?

    Thanks
