how to get library path editor entries in alphabetical order |
|
|
Is there a way to do this? The lib manager lists all the libs in
alphabetical order, so why can't the lib path editor do the same?
Thanks. (using icfb 5.0.32)

Frederic, Rachel,
The library manager customization you are talking about here can't be
done. There isn't that level of control over the library manager.
Similarly, the library path editor has no customization capability at
all (except a couple of cdsenv vars to control how the locking of
cds.lib files works).
So these would have to be enhancement requests to customer support.
Regards,
Andrew.

But it is possible to have your own custom colors for each library type!

Really? How?
If this is now possible, it must have passed me by. You could do it in
the old 4.3.4 library browser, but I don't know of a way of doing this
with the library manager. There are a number of enhancement requests
for this, so I'm intrigued to know how you're doing it. Perhaps I
might learn something!
Regards,
Andrew.

Maybe he is doing it at a low level. With database triggers to determine color
and using X11 protocol to manipulate library manager resources and actually set
the color.
Gerry, please tell us !

while at this, I'd like to see this "sort" function added to
"Design Variables" in the ADE form.

But I don't think you can change the library manager resources for individual widget
instances, dynamically in a running program. At least, not unless it is designed that way.
And how you'd do it from SKILL is anyone's guess.

Bear in mind that the library path editor, and ADE are completely different
parts of the code, from different groups within Cadence. The two things need
to be requested separately - you won't get one as a consequence of the other.

OK Andrew,
thanks for pointing that it is a dead end. I am not so familiar with
Xwindow. I already noticed that library manager does not respond to the
X11 editres app (not linked to Xmu or stg like that?), but thought it
was only reflecting a lack of protocol, and that it would still somehow
be possible to change resources on the fly.
The workbenches are since ic446 better with X11/motif, a shame
library manager does not follow and improve too.
