Please tell me How can I make option window that open by F3 Key.

jjoon2
My skills automatically change the properties (location, size, etc.) of the two selected objects.
It is a process that enters a skill execution command (or BindKey) into the CIW and clicks two objects with a mouse.
(command --> Mouse Click X 2 (objects select) --> Auto Property Change )

But I want to press the "F3 key" (hiToggleEnterFun) to launch an option window for this skill.
When executing a skill, I would like the window to appear only when I want the F3 input, not the option window.
Like the features provided by Virtuoso by default(leHiCreateRect, leHiCreatePath, etc). 

i know how to make a desired form of format using hiCreateAppForm, but I don't know how to connect it to HitoggleEnterFun (F3).
Please tell me How can I make option window that open by F3 Key.

  • Hi,

    You might have two way of doing this:

    1.

    If your mouse clicks to select objects are done using an enter function: enterPoint, enterPoints, ...

    Then you just have to bind your menu using the arguments of the enter function, see bold arguments below:

    (enterPoint
 [ ?prompts l_promptList ]
     [ ?points l_pointList ]
     [ ?form s_form ]
     [ ?addPointProc t_addProcName ]
     [ ?delPointProc t_delProcName ]
     [ ?initProc t_initProcName ]
     [ ?doneProc t_doneProcName ]
     [ ?formProc t_formProcName ]
     [ ?alwaysMap g_alwaysMap ]
     [ ?acceptString g_acceptString ]
     [ ?acceptNumber g_acceptNumber ]
     [ ?noInfix g_noInfix ]
     [ ?cmdName t_cmdName ]
     [ ?cursor x_cursor ]
     )

    2.

    If you are doing things differently, you might still be able to bind F3 to the function to display your form and re-bind it afterward

    (let ((bk (hiGetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>F3")))
      (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>F3" "(display_your_form)")
      ;; Safely re-bind F3
      (unwindProtect
        (progn
          ;; Run your code
          ...
          )
        (hiSetBindKey "Layout" "<Key>F3" bk)
        ))



    Note that I haven't ran this code snippet


    Hope this might help,

    Cheers,
    Aurel
