axlUIPopupDefine & axlUIPopupSet

Hi Folks,

Has anyone used these two functions? If yes, what are they used for? After reading the manual, I thought that these functions are used to create the RMB menu ie. axlUIPopupDefine lets you create the menu and axlUIPopupSet calls that menu. But, I am not able to get this to work, hence thought they may not be what I am looking for.

My goal is to allow the user to terminate the function by selecting Done from RMB menu - how can I go about doing that? Any hints will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Varun

Here's a simple example:
defun( showElement ()
mypopup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil, list(list("Done" 'axlFinishEnterFun) list("Cancel" 'axlCancelEnterFun)))
axlUIPopupSet(mypopup)
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled, '("NOALL", "ALLTYPES", "NAMEFORM") ?onButtons "ALLTYPES")
while(axlSelect(), axlShowObject(axlGetSelSet()))
)

Hi eDave:
The example you give can run successfully without any problem just in the Application mode "NONE" of Allegro 16.3.
And in other three Application Modes (Genaral Edit/ Placement Edit/ Etch Edit) the PopupMenu won't display when we run the command "showElement " the first time.
But after we select anything on the board, we can see the PopupMenu displayed again.
Can you tell me how to display the PopupMenu when we run the command "showElement " the first time ??
Thanks a lot !
Best Regards
Allen

Hi Allen,
for Allegro version higher than 15.7, we usually "force" allegro into Application mode "NONE"
(if allegroVersion>15.7 then
axlShell("noappmode")
)
