ADE - L and ADE-XL trigger

tyanata

 Hello,

I want certain function to be executed when ADE-L or ADE-XL is opened.

So I accomplished that using the following approach:

if( isCallable('deRegUserTriggers) then
    foreach(mapcar appInfo deGetAppInfo("schematic")->subTypes
       
        if(appInfo->viewType == "adegxl-schematic" then
            deRegUserTriggers("adexl-schematic" nil nil 'func_name)
        );if
       
        if(appInfo->viewType == "adegxl-schematic" then
            deRegUserTriggers("adegxl-schematic" nil nil 'func_name)
        );if
       
        if(appInfo->viewType == "analogArtist-schematic" then
            deRegUserTriggers("analogArtist-schematic" nil nil 'func_name)
        );if
       
    );foreach
 
But unfortunately it copes only the situation when ADE-L and ADE-XL are opened from the schematic window. When they are opened directly from the Library Manager this approach is not useful. 
 
I found in the sourcelink documentation other trigger wich may be will be useful:
ddRegTrigger( "PreObjAccess" 'func_name )
 
But could not find example of its use.
 
Could some body help me on this issue?
 
Thanks in advance!

    Hi Andrew, everyone,

    Continuing the thread with my own experience : I registered one and the same trigger on the 'Save' menus of ADE L and XL doing:

    In .cdsinit :

    load "CheckLockADESaveMenu.il"
    envSetVal("asimenv.startup" "sessInitTrigFunc" 'string "customCheckLockPostInstallTrigger") ;# for ADE L 


    CheckLockADESaveMenu.il is (in short):

    ;####### Setting callback
    define(customCheckLockPostInstallTrigger(args) 
       w_window = hiGetCurrentWindow() ;# for ADE L states, window cannot be fetched through (args->window)
        l = parseString(hiGetWinObjName(w_window))
        newLib = nth(length(l)-3 l)
        newCell = nth(length(l)-2 l)
        newView = nth(length(l)-1 l)
        l_bM_handle = eval(cadr(hiGetBannerMenus(w_window))) ;# handle to the 'File' banner, containing the 'Save' menu

        if(pcreMatchp("adexl" newView) then
          hiSetMenuItemCallback(l_bM_handle 'saveFileItem "CheckLockADE_XLSaveMenu(newLib newCell newView nil)")
        )
        else ;# state is ADE L
          hiSetMenuItemCallback(l_bM_handle 'SaveState "CheckLockADE_LSaveMenu(newLib newCell newView nil)")
        )
    )

    ;####### Triggers registration
    deRegUserTriggers("adestate" nil nil 'customCheckLockPostInstallTrigger)
    deRegUserTriggers("adexl" nil nil 'customCheckLockPostInstallTrigger)

    ;####### ADE L & XL callbacks
    procedure(CheckLockADE_LSaveMenu(newLib newCell newView exit) ...)
    procedure(CheckLockADE_XLSaveMenu(newLib newCell newView exit) ...)

    All works well on the triggers side, I get my callbacks executed prior to saving with both ADE L and XL... However, whenever opening an ADE XL view and starting a job over corners, I get the job pending. Whereas double-clicking on the test, opening the test editor, the job runs.
    Interestingly enough, when restarting virtuoso commenting out the "sessInitTrigFunc" call in my .cdsinit, my ADE XL simulation works... but of course, the ADE L doesn't trigger on 'save' anymore. I don't think axlSessionRegisterCreationCallback() would help me there for ADE XL but I might be wrong.

    I wonder if this is because I use only 1 trigger for both tools, or if I don't use the correct trigger types (adestate and adexl) or if there's something more to it... in any case, I can't fathom the reason why, so your guess/feedback would be much appreciated!

    Thanks & Regards,
    Matthieu

    PS : I use Virtuoso 6.1.5.
    PPS : ADE XL job distribution method is Local, not LBS
