Window with "---------------" Drop Downs

Ivangabs

Good day!

[1] I would like to ask if there is any equivalent SKILL Code in selecting the dash lines in drop down menus as shown below.

I would like to automatically click this option using skill code.

[2] After clicking the dash lines, I would like to have a SKILL code that can check/interact with the window that was created.

Thank you for your time!

  • These are "tear-off menus" (which can be controlled globally via the Options→User Preferences in the CIW, or the ui tearOffMenus boolean t cdsenv var; changing this just alters whether you can use tear off menus or not). There's no SKILL API to tear off a menu, and once torn off, interacting with the torn-off menu (not really a "window") is exactly the same as it is when attached - i.e. you can access the menu structures as before. There is no SKILL API to (for example) close the torn-off menu. 

    Why do you want this? It's low-level UI behaviour, and I wouldn't expect a need to have SKILL functions to tear off a menu.
