Toggle schematic grid between "dotted" and None using bindkey

LuisGutierrez

Hi all,

I'm trying to bind the toggling of the virtuoso schematic grid by using the following bindkey definition:

hiSetBindKeys( "Schematics" list(


 list("<Key>." "if(schDisplayOptionsForm->gridType->value != \"none\" then schDisplayOptionsForm->gridType-> value = \"none\" else schDisplayOptionsForm->gridType->value = \"dotted\") hiFormDone(schDisplayOptionsForm)")

... other bindkey definitions...
 ))

The bindkey works just fine as Long as I have opened the schematic Display Options at least once in the current window, otherwise it gives me the following warning:

This Action cannot complete as the active window for the command has been closed.

Ideally I would like to achieve the toggling of the grid without having to open the Display Options window beforehand. I tried to do a dummy call of the window by using schHiDisplayOptions() and hiFormDone(schDisplayOptionsForm) inside the Definition of the bindkey to no avail.

Does anybody know how to set the bindkey properly ?

BR,

Lucho.
