Create a library with ddsHiCreateLibrary() function and wait the end of creation to follow my script

CalenZoo

Dear All,

I am actually stuck to create a library in my Skill script.

I want to use the function ddsHiCreateLibrary(), automatically update some fields of the pop-up box.

  ddsHiCreateLibrary()
  ddsCreateLibForm->dontBlock>value=nil
  ddsCreateLibForm->Option->value= "Attach to an existing technology library"
  ddsCreateLibForm->LibName->value="061_HPA_Title"
  hiFormDone(ddsCreateLibForm)

But i encoutered two problem:

- The fields update does not work

- And I need that my library is created to follow my script.

Does someone could help me to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance

Best regards,

Patrick

    The form is probably blocking so it never gets to your code till it is dismissed and the callback has already been evaluated.

    Do you need the form? You can use procedural interface of ddCreateLib and techBindTechFile to create it and bind the tech file.

    Thank your for your answer.

    Your proposal works fine but it does not fit to my needs

    In fact, I wish that the the user choose the tech file as it is done in the cadence GUI. In my case it is not always the same techlib so that's why  I had tried this method...

    You may have to create a new GUI rather than try to hack that dds form.

    From your initial description, you already have the library name so you can create a custom GUI to prompt for the tech library name and whatever other information you need. That way, you bypass the dds GUI.

    Thanks Ted, but Unfortunatly it does not answer to my need because I really need the GUI wich let the user chose the tech library listed as in cadence dds form. The tech choice is not always the same and is not obvious to define.

    You will have to duplicate this functionality since the original form is blocking.

    ;; Get all the open tech libraries:

    libList = techGetOpenTechFiles()

    ;; If you want to include the unopened tech libs, use ddGetLibList and
    ;; Figure out the ones which are tech libs: techGetTechFile( libId ) == libId

    ;; Display the library names as a list of choices:

    techLibFieldId = hiCreateCyclicField( ?name '_techLibField

        ?prompt "Tech Lib:"
        ?choices libList~>name
    )
