Add button on Parameter tab PCELL

Esteban Saavedra

Hi All, 

I'm working with pcell SKILL coding, and I want to know, is it possibly to add an extra button in the parameter tab GUI at bottom next to OK, Cancel and Apply buttons?

Sorry, I tried to add a image for better explanation but the tool is not allowing me to do it, hope previous senetence is enough.

Thank you.

Cordially,

Albert Esteban Saavedra Hernandez

  • I'm assuming you're taking about the Edit Properties form in the layout editor. 

    This is not possible; you can control the parameters on that tab (typically via the CDF parameters for the cell), and you can have "button" CDF parameters, but this will not add buttons to the bottom of the form.

    Thank you, I already implemented a second button using hiDisplayAppDBox, but I have a doubt now, when create the text to display, everything is showed in a singe row, how can I make a change of line to avoid that?

    Within the string passed to ?dboxText, add \n (backslash n) anywhere you want a newline (line break) to spread the text over multiple lines.
