bindkey to hide create instance menu

egxoner
hello
i use ic 6.15
i have written a skill function and pointed that function with a bindkey for putting a specific instance to the layout. i use leHiCreateInst() command to call the instance. but when i call my instance Create Instance menu pops-up. i want to hide the menu automatically. maybe with a command that i can add to my function.
i added hiiToggleEnterForm(leCreateInstForm) command to the end of my function but i didnt work.

  • The problem is that the toggle command does not run until after the form finishes. To get around this, you can use the hiRegTimer command. This will submit a command to run some amount of time in the future:

    hiRegTimer("hiiToggleEnterForm(leCreateInstForm))" 1) ; In 1/10th of a second, toggle the form visibility
    leHiCreateInst()

    You could also use the same command to populate the form with your library/cellName/viewName:
    hiRegTimer("leCreateInstForm->libName->value = \"mylib\"" 1)
    hiRegTimer("leCreateInstForm->cellName->value = \"mycell\"" 1)
    hiRegTimer("leCreateInstForm->viewName->value = \"layout\"" 1)
    hiRegTimer("hiiToggleEnterForm(leCreateInstForm)" 1) ; In 1/10th of a second, toggle the form visibility
    leHiCreateInst()
