how to add a custom menu to CIW

NcfC
Hi,

I'm using IC5141 and I'm trying to add a custom menu to CIW,


procedure( Menu_CIW()
ciwMenuInit()
menu_ciw = hiCreatePulldownMenu( 'Menu_CIW "CusTools" list( menuItem_1 menuItem_2 menuItem_3 ) )
hiInsertBannerMenu( window(1) menu_ciw 3 )
)

and I've add a line in .cdsinit to load the scripts at startup:

load( "/path/to/script/cmenu.il" )

When icfb starts, it doesn't show the custom menu in the ciw banner. I've also tried to explicitly call the function Menu_CIW() inside .cdsinit, but it also didn't work. It works only if I call the function from the command line in ciw.

Can anyone help me understand why it is not working?

thanks in advance.

best regards,
Parents
