Overview
The attached zip file contains a script that parses a comma-separated values (CSV) file and generates a dynamic XML file to automatically populate pull-down menus in HyperMesh. Hierarchy in the pull-down menus is created based on the first three columns in the CSV file, namely: main block, Sub-main, Sub-Group.
Where:
| Column Name | Description |
| main block | Parent navigation item |
| Sub-main | Sub-menu navigation item |
| Sub-Group | Second level of navigation item |
Supported attributes to the menu button, like text, source/command, tooltip, visibility, etc., are listed in the other columns.
In this example, the following columns are included:
| Column Name | Description |
| text | Name of the tool |
| source path | Command/source executed when controls are selected |
| command | Procedure call, if the source file is passed in the “source path” column |
| tooltip | Tooltip text displayed when hovering over the region |
| visible | Conditional attribute to show/hide any tags contained within it based on the profiles specified. Visible conditions can be nested. For example: Like: {ProfileName1, ProfileName2, ProfileName3}
*Note: visible attribute is supported in versions 2021.2 or above. |
