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,

    What kind of session is the object passed to asiGetPsfDir? There's also asiGetResultsPsfDir() but I suspect this will behave similarly (I can't test right now).

    Knowing the actual filename is handled levels below the public APIs, so as far as I am aware there are no APIs to return the actual file names (other than using getDirFiles() to read the directory). I don't know how you would know which "file" to read when actually it could be one of several files depending on which analyses were run anyway. Also, I'm not sure all formats will be readable by some external tool (depends on the format) since not all formats are public (in fact most of them aren't).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
