How to add Custom SKILL procedure to the MenuBar appearing during Right Click

Manikk0501

Hi all,

When we do a Right click on a Schematic window, we see the options like zoom To Area, Zoom To Fit ... etc. I want to add my custom SKILL procedure through a menu key word to this menu bar. 

Can someone help me on how to do it?

Thanks and Regards,

Manikandan Kuzandhaivelu

    There are a couple of ways of doing this - one is to modify the schematic.menus file (probably I'd create my own schematic.menus file and then load the standard one from prependInstallPath("etc/tools/menus/schematic.menus") and then perform my own modifications to that data). This may not be that easy to maintain though.

    The other alternative is to use schRegisterPopUpMenu() - however, you have to be aware that you are replacing the context sensitive menu. Here's an example:

    procedure(CCFcreateAndRegisterMenu(_args)
        hiCreateMenu('CCFschMenu "Custom"
            list(
                hiCreateMenuItem(
                    ?name 'one
                    ?itemText "One"
                    ?callback "println(1111)"
                )
                hiCreateMenuItem(
                    ?name 'two
                    ?itemText "Two"
                    ?callback "println(2222)"
                )
            )
        )
        schRegisterPopUpMenu(
            "schNone"
            CCFschMenu
            ; despite what the documentation says, the next argument
            ; is required, and actually doesn't seem to matter what is used
            "edit"
        )

    )

    deRegUserTriggers("schematic" nil nil 'CCFcreateAndRegisterMenu)

    I've field CCR 1464678 to fix the documentation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
