How to auto load the drop down in Hyperview when its opened.
In Hypermesh , we can run a tcl script using hmcustom.tcl. The tcl script will be auto executed when Hypermesh is loaded. Is there any similar way to run/load script in Hyperview when GUI is opened?

Hello @Michael
Thanks for your answer. I have done exactly the same thing that you have mentioned here. I have created a ribbon file. and i am using the command "::hwf::ribbonpage add" to add the ribbon xml to the GUI. As i need to auto load the drop down during the HyperView start up, i have registered a proc (hm_framework registerproc) in the hm custom menu and with that proc the hm ribbon is loaded. But for Hyperview, since it does not call for the hmcustom.tcl during the start up, we need to first load the HM client to activate the registered proc then switch the client to HV to auto load the Plugins.
So my question is do you know any command in Hyperview to auto load the HVPluggin.xml ribbon during the HV start up instead of adding the plugin. I completely understood the method of adding Extensions using Extension manager. But i was looking for a way to load the plugins in users machine without any user action.
Also a simple question, Is there any way to execute automatically a TCL script during the Hyperview Startup?
