ciwCreatePulldown

RK56

Hi,

I'm using ciwCreatePulldown function to create menu as per  <install_dir>/tools/dfII/etc/tools/menus/layEdit.menus. The documentation for ciwCreatePulldown mentions that this is only for application support. Will this function be available in future virtuoso release also?

Are there any other better way of creating menus?

Thanks

Ramakrishnan

    Hi Ramakrishnan,

    As far as I know there's no plan to remove it because it's a public function and has been there for a long time.

    It doesn't say it's only for application support. It says it's primarily for application support. What that means is that if you're creating a new "DE" (Design Editor) application, then this is a reasonable approach. For general purpose pulldown menus though, I'd probably advise using the "hi" menu functions instead, as shown in this article.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks. I prefer ciwCretePulldown method because it has lesser scripting effort for creation.
