Make library name and cell name fields of "edit object properties" uneditable

Hello,

maybe this is an indirect question, but here is what I see:

I have a project where, if I open the "edit object properties" form of any instance of any cell of one particular library, the library name and cell name field are not editable.

Maybe some custom trigger is checking the library name and making those fields read only (well, I can change them via skill code in the CIW or with the browse button).

What should I check in order to find out how this is happening?

Best regards,

Patrik

Hi Patrik,

Maybe look to see if there is a 'formInitProc' on the CDF for that cell (shown as Form Initialization Procedure on the Edit CDF form)?

Regards,
Lawrence.

Hi,

good call. That procedure sets the behaviour I am seeing

Well, this is good investigation. But, I guess the PDK vendor intended it that way because he doesn't want user to change instances using EOP. Instead delete and then instantiate new ones because there may be unintended junk props getting associated with the instance in case of EOP.

Rajesh

Yes, that is the official reason. I can change lib and cell names with the browse button and there are triggers registered with such action, but not with simple editing of the fields
