Add an item ADE-XL results tab (when right clicking on a test result)

PatrikOsgnach

Hello,

I have this scenario: in ADE-XL, after I load an old result to active, if I select the results tab and right click on a result, I have a nice menu with many options.

I would like to add an item to this menu. From what I read on this forum, I added this code to menus/spectre.menus


(sevAddMenuItemLists                                                                                          
    (lambda (session name)
        (case name
              ("&Results" list( (list "TestItem" ?disable nil ?form t ?callback "(testfunc session)") ) )
        );case
    ) ; lambda
) ; sevAddMenuItemLists
(procedure (testfunc s) (println (sprintf nil "Simdir is %s" s->axlCurrentDataDir)) )

but, when I right click, I get this message in CIW:

ERROR (ADEXL-2822): Invalid menu list structure "(false false)" provided.
Menu items must be specified as a list of ("menu name" "callback" {"true", "false"}), where the last argument specifies whether the item is disabled.
For submenus, replace the callback string with a sublist of menu items.

and nothing gets printed

What is the correct way to achieve this? I need to be able to access the "session" variable inside my callback

Best regards,

Patrik

  • Patrik,

    sevCustomEntity is not documented. It probably should be given the number of situations I've had to use it...

    Currying is possible in SKILL because it supports closures. Here's an example. Either put this code in a file with the suffix ".ils" or enter it in the CIW having used:

    toplevel('ils)

    first (to change you to "SKILL++" mode):

    procedure(CCFcurry(func @rest initialArgs)
      procedure(curried(@rest extraArgs)
        apply(func append(initialArgs extraArgs))
      )
      curried
    )

    Then you can do:

    expt10=CCFcurry(expt 10)
    expt10(3) => 1000

    This is just one of several ways you can implement closures in SKILL (or SKILL++).

    Note that if I then use resume() to return to SKILL mode, I can still call the curried function I created earlier

    I can also create one in SKILL mode too but it's rather less elegant:

    putd('times20 CCFcurry('times 20))
    times20(5) => 100

    Regards,

    Andrew.
