Running 2 procedures or function in 1 bindkey

GDCRA

Hi,

I was spying on skill command in CIW when I am doing some graphical actions such as clicking netlistcreat form and clicking "Apply" in order to create netlist.

I thought I will able to create keybinding to run this step, so I was trying

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F12" "xcreateNetlist() _hiFormApplyCB(xcreateNetlistForm)")

But its on working. For some reason, it get stucked at 1st stage of opening form. When I close this form, it perform 2nd part of nestling. So its waiting for something between step 1 and step 2.

Can someone help here ?

Thanks

  • Hi,

    Most likely the form is blocking, so as soon as it is displayed the code afterwards (applying the form callback) doesn't get executed. I think that Ramakrishnan may be correct in that you can use hiEnqueueCmd():

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F12" "hiEnqueueCmd(\"_hiFormApplyCB(xcreateNetlistForm)\") xcreateNetlist()")

    However, it is often better to look for an API that is not dependent on the form/GUI - can you investigate what the form callback is and see if you can call that directly? [You may not be able to do this if the callback depends on the form structure and the values collected there].

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
