Create Menu/Window with TCL to fill a user defined Title block - OrCAD Capture CIS 22.2

JN202407223932

Hi evereyone,

i'm completely new to TCL scripting.
I created a Title Block and added a few new properties to it. Now i would like to create a pop up window where i can set and change the values of these properties. Just like the Title Block tab in the design template view.

I already managed to create a new menu in the title bar with a script  but i don't get it how to create this pop up window.

Can someone help me with a small example maybe?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi JN,

    I am sharing a sample GUI code with you, when you source the tcl it will pop window and ask user for input. Once you provide any input you will get out in the same window.

    Seee below screenshot.

    You can check the command and similar you can create your own GUI will dump information and allow user to change its value.

    Before run code make sure you have corrected the path of htmlFilePath (display.html).

    set htmlFilePath {C:/TEST/Desktop/forum/display.html}

    forum.zip

    Also, you can user below command just to take the user input (pop-window):

    AskUserInput(pTitle, pDefVal) : returns char
    Parameters:
    pTitle: char const *
    pDefVal: char const *

    set lUserInput [AskUserInput "test" ""]

    puts $lUserInput

    Thanks

    Hope this helps.
