Equivalent function for hiDisplayFileDialog in IC5

ksek

Hi,

In Cadence IC6, the function "hiDisplayFileDialog" is available. However, in Cadence IC5, there are no such function.

May i know what is the equivalent command for this function? or is there any alternative to pop up the file dialog box?

Thanks,

KS.

  • You can use ddsFileBrowseCB() to start a file browser linked to a field in a form - this works in both IC5141 and IC61X - in IC61 it uses the newer hiDisplayFileDialog underneath, but in IC5141 it uses a custom file selector UI. There's no "hi" file browser in IC5141.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew, the command "ddsFileBrowseCB()" is worked perfectly for me.

    I have other question regarding the command that not available in IC5 which is pcreCompile and pcreReplace. These two command only available in IC6. May I know is there any alternative to these function as well.

    Thanks,

    KS.

    Hi KS,

    The only alternatives are the rexCompile and rexReplace functions. These support a rather more limited regular expression syntax.

    Hi KS,


    The closest thing to the pcre* functions in IC5x are the rex* functions such as rexMatchp(), rexCompile(), rexReplace() etc. - these are not as powerful as the pcre* functions, they do not support full regular expression syntax.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    Thanks for the answer for the rex* function.

    I actually encounter a problem when I using the function ddsFileBrowseCB(). This function do not block the code execution when the browser is popped up. I would like to have the option "?dontblock" in hiCreateAppForm whereby the code execution is continued after the form is close. Please let me know if you have any idea on how to do this?

    Best Regards,

    KS.

    If you're wanting the form displayed by ddsFileBrowseCB to block, then it won't. Sorry. You'd have to write some code to create your own file browser if you really wanted that - I wrote something years ago to do this, but it's not something I really want to post here (it's ancient and I've not used it for ages so haven't tested it recently).
