How to launch function after select lib/cell/view with ddsSyncWithForm() then press Close button ?

Charley Chen

Hi All,

https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000nanAEAQ&pageName=ArticleContent&sq=005d0000005nIGZAA2_201711106162892

It's  a example from https://support.cadence.com ,

I want to launch my own function after press 'Close' .

exampleLibName = hiCreateStringField(
    ?name 'exampleLibName
    ?prompt "Library Name"
    ?value ""
    ?callback "ddsUpdateSyncWithForm( )"
)
exampleCellName = hiCreateStringField(
    ?name 'exampleCellName
    ?prompt "Cell Name"
    ?callback "ddsUpdateSyncWithForm( )"
)
exampleViewName = hiCreateStringField(
    ?name 'exampleViewName
    ?prompt "View Name"
    ?callback "ddsUpdateSyncWithForm( )"
)
exampleBrowser = hiCreateButtonBoxField(
    ?name 'exampleBrowser
    ?prompt " "
    ?choices '(" Browse ")
    ?callback list("exampleBrowser( )")
)
hiCreateForm(
    'exampleOpenForm "Synched Form Example"
    "exampleOpenForm( )"
    list( exampleLibName exampleCellName exampleViewName exampleBrowser )
    ""
)
procedure( exampleBrowser( )
    ddsSyncWithForm( exampleOpenForm 'browse 'exampleLibName 'exampleCellName 'exampleViewName )
)

procedure( exampleOpenForm( )
    ddsSyncWithForm( exampleOpenForm 'other 'exampleLibName 'exampleCellName 'exampleViewName )
hiDisplayForm( 'exampleOpenForm )
)
 
ddsEndSyncWithForm() 

Thank you,

Charley

  • Charley,

    Do you mean the "Close" button on the library select UI or the "OK" button on the form in the example above? It's a slightly strange use model if you want to do something on the library select UI close - I don't think anything else works that way - especially as you could just type in the values in the fields. 

    So normally if you want something to be triggered on selection of lib/cell/view you'd do it via the field callbacks as then it would work for both values selected via the browser or values typed in, and is not dependent upon you closing the library select UI.

    Regards,
