how to add the skill code to banner menu of layout window by giving the input as the path

Sri Charan B

 Hi,

I have got a code written to add the banner menu(like the File, Edit etc.,) but the problem i am facing here is that i need to add the whole skill codes which i want them to be added in that pull down menu, the following is the code which i am using,

procedure(CharanAddMenu(_args)
  let( (item1 item2)
    item1 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item1 ?itemText "Name_1" ?callback "skill_code_1()")
    item2 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item2 ?itemText "Name_2" ?callback "skill_code_2()")
    list(hiCreatePulldownMenu('CharanMenu "Charan Menu" list(item1 item2)))
  )
)
deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil 'CharanAddMenu)

in the above code skill_code_*() refers to the skill code which i need to add to this code

and the Name_* refers to the name to be displayed for that particular code in my banner menu.

So if i want to add a new function to this i am supposed to add that code here and this goes on increasing if i want add more and more functions to my menu. Instead of this i want to call the function by passing the path (or the file name) to my above code which makes my job easier by just adding the path of the function (or by just passing the file name).

Some one please help me,

Thanks in advance,

  • Hi Andrew,

    I am still not able to figure it out. I am pasting the code which i have been trying on

    procedure(CharanAddMenu(_args)
      let( (item1 item2)
        item1 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item1 ?itemText "to_do_this1" ?callback "load(\"/path/my_code1.il")"")
        item2 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item2 ?itemText "to_do_this2" ?callback "load(\"/path/my_code2.il")"")
        list(hiCreatePulldownMenu('CharMenu "CHARAN Menu" list(item1 item2)))
      )
    )
    deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil 'RPAddMenu)

    while using the above code it is generating the following error


    *Error* lineread/read: syntax error encountered in input

    *Error* eval: unbound variable - item1

    *WARNING* (reader): extra ')' ignored at line 6 of file *ciwInPort*

    *WARNING* (reader): extra ')' ignored at line 7 of file *ciwInPort*

     please help me to figure it out.

    Thanks in advance,
