pass argument to enterPoints procedure

mantang

Hi

How do I pass extra arguments "theForm" and "instances" of CCSbtnFld1CB to addPointProc and doneProc ?  (w done pts) or (w plist) are default argument. The example in SKILL manual does not show the solution.

inst_sel = hiCreateButton(
      ?name concat('inst_sel i)
    ; ?buttonText "Select instances from the schematic"
    ?buttonText "Select"

  ; ?callback "CCSbtnFld1CB(hiGetCurrentForm())"
  ; ?callback list("CCSbtnFld1CB(hiGetCurrentForm() i)")

    ?callback list(
         sprintf(nil
         "CCSbtnFld1CB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'instances%d)"
          i
          )
       )
)

procedure(CCSbtnFld1CB(theForm instances)
   let( ()

     enterPoints(
     ?prompts list("Click to select instances in the cellview. Press Esc key when done with selections")
    ?addPointProc "CCSAddPtCB"
    ?doneProc "CCSPointsDone"
     );enterPoints
);let
);procedure

procedure( CCSPointsDone( w done pts)
unless( done
   get(ExampleForm instances)->value = buildString(
      setof(obj geGetSelSet()  
      and(obj~>objType=="inst"
      obj~>purpose!="pin"))~>name)
);unless
t
);procedure

procedure( CCSAddPtCB( w ptlist )

geSelectPoint(w car(last(ptlist)))
);procedure

Thanks,

  • Hi Mantang,

    The answer is simple - you can't. Those callbacks defined in enterPoints(..) are always called with exactly those three respectively two arguments. That's why yo get an error when you don't implement them expecting just these arguments. So to get at the current form you'll have to issue hiGetCurrentForm(..) and geGetWindowCellView()~>instances and assign the return values to local variables.
