Custom Layout toolbar menu

skillforpcells

Hello All,

I want to have customized Layout tool bars. but every time I set the tool bars in Layout and reopen it, the tool bars initially set are gone. I have to set my configuration every time and this is time consuming. I checked the CIW and found that each time I open the tool bars the command are different, for example If I open the search tool bar, I get

hiShowToolbar(swindow(10)->hiToolbars->leSearchToolbar_10)

next time

hiShowToolbar(swindow(11)->hiToolbars->leSearchToolbar_11)

How to deal with this and is there a posiblity that I can make configurations in a file and place them as layEdit.menus under menus ?

    You are asking two different questions, the first is how to have a custom toolbar inserted in the window when a mask layout cellView is opened. This is done by a user trigger which is evaluated once the window is opened. Here it is used to add a menu to the window. You could do the same with a tool bar.

       printf( "Setting menu trigger\n" )
        unless( member( 'MyMenuInstallMenuTrigger
                 deGetAppInfo( "maskLayout" )->userPostInstallTrigList )
            deRegUserTriggers( "maskLayout" nil nil 'MyMenuInstallMenuTrigger )
            printf("Trigger installed.\n")
        ) ; unless

    The second question is about displaying SKILL custom menus (note the menu number attached to the toolbar symbol), the configuration can be saved and loaded by the user or using a trigger as above.
