Callback function for Library Manager Menu Item

mschw

Hello,

i want to add a new menu item to the Library manager which prints the library name /cell name /... in the CIW. I added to the cdsLibMgr.il file the following piece of code

(lmgrCreateMenuItem "myLmgrMenuItem" "simple"
                    '(("label" "Print in CIW")
                      ("callback" ("myLmgrMenuItemCallback"))
                     )
)

(lmgrInsertMenuItems "copySimpleButton" "CV" '("myLmgrMenuItem"))


The callback function is

procedure(myLmgrMenuItemCallback(str1 str2 str3 str4 str5 str6)

printf("%s %s %s %s %s %s" str1 str2 str3 str4 str5 str6)

)

If I select an arbitrary cell in the library manager and after pressing the right mouse button and clicking on the new entry "Print to CIW" nothing happens. But if I subsequently select another entry in this menu (e.g. "Properties" or "Open ..") then the correct information is printed in the ciw.

I use IC6.1.7-64b.500.5


Many thanks in advance,
mschw

  • You need to add a "\n" to the end of the first argument of the printf - i.e. printf("%s %s %s %s %s %s\n" str1 str2 str3 str4 str5 str6) - so that it prints a carriage return. Then it will print immediately - otherwise it's being buffered until there's enough output or a carriage return appears...
