Issue with axlTriggerSet for double opening

mir0mik

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with axlTriggerSet for detection of opening of a design. I have a simple code in allegro.ilinit to catch the design being opened - it just calls simple handling function..

---allegro.ilinit---

;Trigger for open design
load( "triggersHandler.il")
defun( dcaCM_openTrigger ( dcaCM_triggerData)
dcaTH_openDesign( dcaCM_triggerData)
)
axlTriggerSet('open 'dcaCM_openTrigger)

---triggersHandler.il---

;Function for design open trigger
defun( dcaTH_openDesign ( dcaTH_openDesignInput)
axlUIConfirm( "Design opened")
)

Usually, this works just fine, once the design is opened PCB Editor displays the confirmer window. However, If I open the old design (saved in 17.2) PCB Editor asks if I want to convert it and if I chose NO and then I open a different design the trigger function will be executed twice so I got two consequent confirmer window even though I opened just one design.

Any idea how to make sure that the confirmer is shown only if the design is truly loaded/opened?

Thanks a lot!

    I've discussed this with COS, here updated code. It was a recurrence issue. The axlSetTrigger() actually returns if the callback function matches the actual call (second argument)...

    I hope this will help...

    ---triggersHandler.il---

    ;Function for design open trigger
    defun( dcaTH_openDesign ( dcaTH_openDesignInput)
    ;Check if the trigger correspond with the current function call (to handle recurrences)
    if( nthelem( 2 dcaTH_openDesignInput) != nil
    then
    axlUIConfirm( "Design opened")
    )
    )
