Accessing and modifying toolbar items in IC616

RK56

Hi,

Problem 1:

I have followed the Solution Article 11478824  to create a toolbar in layout window. Now I need to access the items of toolbar and I have used hiGetToolbarObjName function to do that. But I'm looking for a generic way to access the items something like this

csToolbarGetElement(element) ;;;;;where element is a string which points to one of the toolbar item

csToolbarGetElement(element)~>value ;;;;;should return the value of the element

Problem 2:

I have created few subActions and a comboFiled to list the subActions. Whenever I select any subAction, I need to change the icon of the comboFiled. For example, I'm looking for a implementation similar to Options Toolbar -> Edit Snap Mode in layout window. Whenever I change the snap mode, the icon of the combo file changes notifying the user the present mode.

Please free to ask question in case I have not explained my need clearly.

Thanks

  • If you have the toolbar object, you can find the names of the items, and then the attributes of all items. For example, for a schematic:

    toolbars=hiGetWindowToolbars(hiGetSessionWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow()))
    fileTB=car(exists(tb toolbars hiGetToolbarObjName(tb)=="File"))
    fileTB->items

    (schFileToolbarNew schFileToolbarOpen schFileToolbarCheckAndSave schFileToolbarSave)

    Then you can look at an individual item:

    fileTB->schFileToolbarNew->??

    (hiNameSym schFileToolbarNew hiType action hiCallback
        "schHiNewCellView()" hiIcon "new-file.png" hiIconText "New"
        _checkable nil checked nil enabled
        t defAction nil actionList nil
        hiToolTip "New" hiStatusTip ""
    )

    and so on. You can look at any of these fields (e.g. fileTB->schFileToolbarNew->hiToolTip)

    For your second question, look at <ICinstDir>/share/cdssetup/dfII/toolbars/byApplication/Layout.toolbars . You'll see the definition of Edit Snap Mode which refers to an actionList, each of which is declared as a subAction and has associated icons with each action. If you search in cdnshelp for "subAction" you'll get more info on how this works.
