how to use "insertXMlMenu" in capture

robin chu

 There is a "insertXMLMenu"  function in capture's tcl demo as follow:

InsertXMLMenu [list [list "TopLevelMenu"] "" "" [list "popup" "&TopLevelMenu" "0"]]

InsertXMLMenu [list [list "TopLevelMenu" "SubMenu" ] "" "" [list "action" "&SubMenu..." "0" "SubMenuActionLabel" "MenuUpdateLabel"]]

 I don't know how to fill in the parameters.

Is there I can find a document that explain these functions?

  • Hi

    Sample menu below, you need to register the function

    InsertXMLMenu [list [list "NordcadMenu"] "" "" [list "popup" "&Nordcad" "0"]]
    InsertXMLMenu [list [list "NordcadMenu" "SampleAlwaysEnabled1" ] "" "" [list "action" "&Intelligent PDF..." "0" "sampleEnabledAction1" "sampleEnabledUpdate1"]]

    proc disableMenuUpdate {} {
    return false
    }

    proc enableMenuAction1 {} {
    set lMessage "Creating PDF"
    set lMessageStr [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $lMessage]
    DboState_WriteToSessionLog $lMessageStr
    MenuCommand "65004"
    return true
    } 

    proc enableMenuUpdate {} {
     return true
    }
    RegisterAction "sampleEnabledUpdate1" "capTrue" "" "enableMenuUpdate" ""

    RegisterAction "sampleDisabledUpdate" "capTrue" "" "disableMenuUpdate" ""

    RegisterAction "sampleEnabledAction1" "capTrue" "" "enableMenuAction1" ""

    documentation is found in %cdsroot%\tools\capture\tclscripts\OrCAD_Capture_TclTk_Extensions.pdf

    samples are found in the same directory

    Best regards

    Ole

  • Hi Ole, do you know if it is possible to also add such kind of menu directly into the PM tree? When we use the registerAction with 'PM' at the end it will always show up in the "more..." section, but we want our commands and menus directly at the top Thanks Patrick
