ADE - L and ADE-XL trigger

tyanata
tyanata over 13 years ago

 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 All,

     I've found the error in the ADE XL job's log when the jobs are pending:


    \e *Error* Error during configuration of remote session.
    \e ("hiGetWinObjName" 0 t nil ("*Error* hiGetWinObjName: argument #1 should be a window type (type template = \"w\")" nil))

    So, somehow, the hiGetWinObjName() doesn't work on the hiGetCurrentWindow() at ADE XL start-up. Could it be that it loads each test window in a session window and that it doesn't work at beginning since there's no hiGetCurrentWindow() yet?
    Doesn't explain why it works when not calling the ADE L init triggers tough...

    Anyway, I've added a condition "when(w_window then ... )" and it finally works for both ADE L and XL.

    Thanks anyway,
    Kind regards,
    Matthieu
