Creating a GUI window like TREE command

Teja,

This is rather an ambiguous request. You want to "create a GUI window same as leHiTree". Does that mean?

1. You want a form like this:
   
2. You want a result window like this (with the same content but some additional data):
   
3. Or you just want a text window similar to that which is produced by the tree command but with completely different contents?

If it's the first two, you could adapt this code: How to print a hierarchy tree of a config-based schematic, normal schematic, or layout view (which I originally wrote before the schematic editor had a tree command as standard). If it's the third, you could either write to a file and then use the view() function to display the file, or you could just use:

win=hiOpenWindow(?type "text")
hiTextDisplayString(win "Hello\n" nil)
hiTextDisplayString(win "World\n" nil)

or something like that.

Hi andrew,

Thanks for the reply I originally wanted the third one.
I have written the code based on your inputs
But I also wanted to add File, Edit, View buttons to menu bar.
could you please suggest a solution.

Thanks,
Teja.

Teja,

You could do instead:

win=view("/dev/null")
hiSetWindowName(win "Viewfile")
hiTextDisplayString(win "Hello\n" nil)
hiTextDisplayString(win "World\n" nil)

The view() function returns a text window looking at a file, and if we don't care about the file part we can give it a null file - and then write to the window as before. Or if you have a real file, you could use that. The view() function will add the menus you're expecting.
