Listing libraries , cells and views

Hi all.

I am trying to make selection of library, cells and views (like in Library Manager) only smaller in three dependent drop down lists.

So far I've found:

axlGetSessionLibName

axlGetSessionCellName

axlGetSessionViewName

But all of them return one object, and I need dependent list.

Is there a way to get lists with public api?

Thanks in advance,

Dragan

Dragan,

I don't really understand what you mean. Those three functions are specifically for returning the lib/cell/view of an ADE XL or maestro session's cellView - I don't see how they relate in any way to what you say you're trying to do?

Perhaps you mean something like the code I provide in this thread?

Regards,

Andrew

On a first read that is it.

I will do the implementation on Monday.

Thank You again.

Libraries field is filled with values, but cell and view fields remain empty.

I am using: IC6.1.8-64b.500.10

Best regards,

Dragan,

Obviously I'm having to guess given that you didn't share the code you used to produce that, but the most likely explaination is that you're not using the hiInstantiateForm/ddHiLinkField approach that I mentioned in the previous post as being the solution, or the relevant lines I had in my code example:

        ;----------------------------------------------------------------
        ; Need to both instantiate the form and link the fields so that
        ; the combo-boxes use the other fields to inform the choices
        ;----------------------------------------------------------------
        hiInstantiateForm(form)
        ddHiLinkFields(
            form->lib
            form->cell
            form->view
        )

Sorry.

My mistake.

Instantiation goes first and then the linking.

Dragan,

If you're asking questions here, you need to provide enough information that anyone here (either those of us from Cadence, or others who helpfully respond) stands a chance of giving you an answer. If you can't do that, you should use customer support as that's then not in a public forum.

Does that mean it now works? You didn't clearly say...

Yes it is working as expected.

I will need to develop parts of code that I am not able to make them work and post them here.

Thank You.
