hello

 

correct me if I am wrong

but on that website hypermesh toolbar only available right, I want it in hyperview

Q.Nguyen-Dai

It's toolbar for Hyperview!!!

Altair Forum User

I gone trough that pdf

correct me if I am wrong I guess it is different tool bar and different customization

 

I want to add only my script to drop down list or button nothing else using tcl script like it is available in hypermesh

 

so can you tell me name of command that will do that?

Hi

to create menu items

[. cget -menu] add command -label demo -command 'puts demo'

 

refer to tk command 'menu'

Altair Forum User

I looked into it but didn't understand much in first go

 

Still working on it

 

Meanwhile please do share if you have any example in which a menu created in hyperview

 

And where do I need to paste this command so that it will execute it as menu??

tinh

please learn to create menu in tk . there are many examples you can find online

 

after you have a menu, add it to hyerview easily by

[. cget -menu] add cascade -label Menu -menu $yourmenu

I have a base script to make toolbar and toolbar button

But for hypermesh

I will test it on hyperview if possible

Plz wait...

Altair Forum User

Ok

thanks

tinh

Hi, 

It is not available for hyperview

But i found a proc to create toolbars in HV

::hwt::HwToolbar

Altair Forum User

Ok，do this proc need to be added to a hyperview default file ?

tinh

Yes

It is a base proc

So you have to use it to make tcl codes creating toolbars other than just type it in default file

Altair Forum User

ok, do you konw which file should be modified.

or how can find the default file 

tinh

Create your own tcl file

And modify target of hv shortcut with adding -tcl 'your tcl file'

If you cannot create toolbar, add your menu onto main hv dropdown menu

Altair Forum User

ok thanks
