axlselect not getting cancelled using popup menu Cancel option

All,

I am defining a popup to cancel axlselect in the interactive mode .. I need to twice select Cancel in the popup to exit the axlselect command.

How to determine the axlselect command is exited – tried using axlOKToProceed() while axlSelect command is active it returns ‘t’

Below is the code.. what am I missing?

Appreciate your help.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

procedure( testpopup()

mypopup = axlUIPopupDefine( nil '(

("Next", "myNext()" )

("Oops", "myOops()" )

("Cancel", "myCancel()" )

("Done", "myDone()" )

))

axlUIPopupSet(mypopup)

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(noall symbols) ?onButtons '(noall symbols))

dbids= axlGetSelSet(axlSelect(?prompt "Select components"))

if(dbids then

axlUIWPrint(nil "- symbol selected -")

else

axlUIWPrint(nil "- symbol not selected -")

)

) ; end procedure

procedure( myNext()

axlUIWPrint(nil "- Next -")

)

procedure( myOops()

axlUIWPrint(nil "- oops -")

)

procedure( myCancel()

axlUIWPrint(nil "- Cancel -")

axlCancelEnterFun()

axlUIPopupSet(nil)

)

procedure( myDone()

axlUIWPrint(nil "- Done -")

)

-------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Nagaraj.

Hi Nagaraj,
For starters replace the line: dbids = axlGetSelSet(axlSelect(?prompt "Select components"))
with: axlSelect(?prompt "Select components") dbids = axlGetSelSet() axlClearSelSet()

Thanks Dave for looking into this, but still the behaviour is same. I need to cancel twice using pop-up->Cancel to get out of axlSelect() command.

Tried with 'noappmode' but no luck. Contacted Cadence support for their suggestion.

procedure( myCancel()

axlUIWPrint(nil "- Cancel -")

axlCancelEnterFun()

axlUIPopupSet(nil)

axlShell("noappmode")

)

Hi Nagaraj,
Instead of using axlSelect, try using this:
axlSetFindFilter(depends on your selection)
axlEnterPoint()
axlSingleSelectPoint(axlLastPick(nil) for single selection or axlAddSelectPoint(axlLastPick(nil) if you want to group
dbidSelected = axlGetSelSet().
based on my experience, this code is easier to control instead of axlSelect.

Hi,
The axlSelect will allow me to do window selection, tempgroup and is same as in Move/copy comand.
axlEnterPoint will select comonents at single point.
Wondering is there no way to exit axlSelect() in single command or its the limitation with User pop-up defined.
Thanks,
Nagaraj.
