How to create and add submenu options in virtuoso window

saurabh96

Hello ,

am using below code to add Cadence option menu in virtuoso


setupItem = (hiCreateMenuItem
?name 'Setup
?itemText "Setup"
?callback "(println \"WELCOME TO CADENCE\") Switches()" )

Menu = (hiCreatePulldownMenu
(gensym)
"CADENCE"
(list setupItem))

(hiInsertBannerMenu window( 1 ) Menu (length (hiGetBannerMenus (window 1))) )

and its generating output as-

Now is that there way instead of appearing as new Cadence option ,its should appear as submenu under VGI option which is pre-existing?

How i can do that...when i click VGI option CADENCE menu should appear and when click on CADENCE window then setup option should appear?

How can i acheive that?

Regards,

Thomas

  • Thomas...I may have misunderstood your problem - if you want to create a sub menu you need to to this in terms of the hiCreateSliderMenuItem() function. The below code adds a sub menu (or slider menu) to the CIW options menu:

    (let (item1 item2)
       item1 = (hiCreateMenuItem
                   ?name (gensym)
                   ?itemText "Click me..."
                   ?callback "(println \"ooops...I just got clicked!\")" )
       item2 = (hiCreateMenuItem
                   ?name (gensym)
                   ?itemText "Never click me!"
                   ?callback "(println \"I told you not to click me didn't I?\")")
       playMenu = (hiCreatePulldownMenu
                      (gensym)
                      "CADENCE"
                      (list item1 item2))

       slider = (hiCreateSliderMenuItem
                   ?name (gensym)
                   ?itemText   "Slider Example"
                   ?subMenu playMenu)

       (hiAddMenuItem ciwOptionsMenu slider))
