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

    Niyaz,

    First of all, posting this in an existing thread (please read the forum guidelines) is not recommended. Secondly, sending me a direct email message 2 minutes after posting this is not going to make me answer it any quicker (especially when I'm on a plane across the Atlantic). In fact it tends to have the opposite effect. If something is that urgent that you need to chase me (when it's not part of my job to respond here - I do it in my spare time), you should contact customer support.

    Anyway, the solution is simple. After adding quotes around the callbacks (so ?callback "f11()"), you need to create slider menu items:

    slider1=hiCreateSliderMenuItem(?name 'slider_CIW1 ?itemText "Menu1" ?subMenu submenu1)
    slider2=hiCreateSliderMenuItem(?name 'slider_CIW2 ?itemText "Menu2" ?subMenu submenu2)
    slider3=hiCreateSliderMenuItem(?name 'slider_CIW3 ?itemText "Menu3" ?subMenu submenu3)

    menu_ciw_top = hiCreatePulldownMenu('Menu_CIW_TOP "Main Menu" list(slider1 slider2 slider3))

    Regards,

    Andrew.
