automatically OK form from within skill code

wangge

Hello,

I am trying to write skill code that will invoke a form, and then automatically "click" OK, thereby executing the form's function, and then close/dismiss the form.  Here is the code:

dagDoNamedAction( dagNumToTool(3) dagGetObjectByPath( dagNumToTool(3) '( "ILBRootNode" "ILBRootClass"  "lib_test" "ILBLibraryClass" )) "Synchronize" )

hiiSetCurrentForm('ICL_SYNCHRONIZE_FORM)

hiFormDone(ICL_SYNCHRONIZE_FORM)

When I copy and paste these three lines into the CIW window,  it does exactly what I want it to do -- in other words, I can see the form pop up, then it goes away, and the function gets executed.

However, when I attempt to paste these three lines into skill code and execute the skill code, the form appears but does not "OK" automatically.  I have to click on the "OK" button, and then the form goes away.

I have spent a a lot of time searching for an answer, and have tried numerous attempts, but nothing seems to work.  For example, I tried implementing this code that I found on support.cadence.com:

   hiRegTimer("and(boundp('ddsDBox) ddsDBox

       hiDBoxOK(ddsDBox))

     and(boundp('ICL_SYNCHRONIZE_FORM)ICL_SYNCHRONIZE_FORM

       hiFormDone(ICL_SYNCHRONIZE_FORM))" 10)

Would be really greatful for any help!

    The timer starts from when the toplevel responds - essentially when the event loop kicks in. Since that won't happen until after the form is mapped on the screen and it's completed the callback, using 0 should be fine.
