Customizing Library Manager |
|
|
We want to customize our library manager.
I read about mapping callbacks - all of them seem activated,
if you select a menuitem in a menu or in an pop-up-menu.
However, I need a callback capability, which is triggered, when
any view of a cell(3rd libmanager column) is selected.
how can I do so ?
2nd problem:
In one of my callbacks, I use system to call a unix program.
It puts its output to the unix terminal. Is there any function ready
to automatically have the log written to a seperate new window ?
the spectre simulation log file uses this facility

You can't. Why would you want to do this? Perhaps there is a different
use model which would make more sense that I can suggest?

Use ipcBeginProcess() with a data handler, or perhaps ipcBatchProcess()
and then use view() with the auto-update argument set to t.

Hallo Andrew,
I have put an additional popup item
"Create GDS File"
and
"Create CDL File"
as functions, you can apply on a cell view("schematic","layout","symbol")
But you should not create a cdl from a "layout" view, so
I only want to disable the grayout here, if the viewtype of the
pointed view is "maskLayout"
I think this is a quite straight-forward approach ...

This is exactly what the mapCallback is for. There's an example of doing this
in the library manager documentation:
<instdir>/doc/libManager/libManager.pdf
Example 5 "Dynamically Sensitizing Menu Items in a DM Workarea".
Yes, the "ab" prefix in the examples are my initials - the documentation is
based on an application note I wrote back in (I think) 1998.
Regards,
Andrew. |
