How to create a RMB menu in explorer ?

Pierre Bordere

Good Afternoon,

I would like to implement a SKILL code which allows the user to display a menu in the results window of Explorer/assembler when the right mouse button is pressed.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to achieve it yet and I didn't find anything on the support website.

How can I do this ?

Thank you very much for your Help,

Pierre

  • Hi Pierre,

    See my response to this thread which explains how to do it.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your response, I read the thread but it seems to be oriented for the Spectre simulator.

    The thing is that I would like my menu to be simulator independent in order to be used by Spectre and Eldo.

    How can I achieve it with this condition ?

    Also, is it possible for you to send me the documentation of the "sevCustomEntity" function because it's not documented and your code seems to be based on it ?

    Have a nice day !

    Hi Pierre,

    Unfortunately I'm not aware of another way of doing this other than putting it in the per-simulator menus file. You can't do this in the simui.menus files because the Results menu is (typically) overriden by each simulator. So this means you'd need to do it for each specific simulator.

    There's no documentation for sevCustomEntity - it's actually private. I did file CCR 720393 a number of years ago to ask for an equivalent public function - but that hasn't been implemented yet.

    I think there's a good argument for a trigger function to do this - we already added a mechanism to add custom menus to to the history tab of the data view assistant using axlGetDataViewHistoryUserMenu - so there could be something similar added to aid customising the results menus. That would need you to contact customer support though and request this.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew
