To insert custom banners on the design view

Leesh

Hi. I want to ask how to fix my code to add custom banners

 

Code is following

 

procedure(verifyMenu(args)

let((winId new_verify new_verifyMenuList)

winId = args~>windows

new_verify = hiCreateMenuItem(

 ?name       'new_verify

 ?itemText  "New_Verify"

 ?callback  "uinewverify()"

)

new_verifyMenuList = list(new_verify)

new_verifyMenu = hiCreatePulldownMenu('new_verifyMenu "New_Verify" new_verifyMenuList)

));let

deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil nil 'new_verifyMenu)

 

When I load this function, and open maskLayout view, following error occured

 

*Error* get/getq: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type - "LibraryName"

 

How should I fix my code?

    A few problems:

    1. The function name you've called in the deRegUserTriggers is new_verifyMenu, but the function is called verifyMenu
    2. You've called it as a post-install trigger, whereas it should be a menu trigger (i.e. the third argument)
    3. The args parameter is a disembodied property list, and so you must use -> rather than ~> (that's what is causing the primary error message)
    4. A user menu trigger should return a list of pulldown menus

    So these corrections to your code will do the job:

    procedure(MyVerifyMenu(args)
      let((winId new_verify new_verifyMenuList)
        winId = args->windows

        new_verify = hiCreateMenuItem(
         ?name       'new_verify
         ?itemText  "New_Verify"
         ?callback  "uinewverify()"
        )

        new_verifyMenuList = list(new_verify)
        new_verifyMenu = hiCreatePulldownMenu('new_verifyMenu "New_Verify" new_verifyMenuList)
        list(new_verifyMenu)
      )
    );let

    deRegUserTriggers("maskLayout" nil 'MyVerifyMenu)
