How to customize pull down menu?

Hello,

First of all, great job, this topic is really useful! 

I just have one question. How do I create a second level of cascade? I want that after 'Category 1' a new cascade appears with 'Category 1_1' and 'Category 1_2' and then I'll place my macros on those menus.

Regards,

Lawrence

Hi

you can make sub-menu by pathname add cascade

Thanks for the reply!

I can not file location's hmcustom.tcl , Is this the same hmsettings.tcl and same location. When i add the codes, i can not see the new Menu also, But when i run the new codes. Its ok. But i can not use the sub-menu. and This sub-menu can use normally if i call direct

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

it's in <altair_home>\hm\bin\winxx

Yes, Thanks Mr Tinh

Hello,

thanks a lot for the topic, it's very useful! It works great the first time I open HM.

However, I have a problem when I change the user profile (Preferences->User Profiles). If I change the profile, my menu disappears.

I understood that, changing the profile, all the menus are reloaded and the hmcustom.tcl is loaded only the first time, but I didn't found a workaround to reload my menu.

Thanks for any reply.

Hi,

to reload hmcustom.tcl after userprofile changed, add below code to hmcustom.tcl:

 set ::hmcustomtclpath [info script] proc ::reloadhmcustomtcl args {      source $::hmcustomtclpath } if {[lsearch -exact [hm_framework getregisteredprocs after_userprofile] ::reloadhmcustomtcl]!=-1} {     hm_framework registerproc ::reloadhmcustomtcl after_userprofile }

Hi tinh,

thanks, I appreciate a lot your valuable and fast reply.

Your code works fine, I had just to replace !=1 with ==1 in the if condition.

Thanks again!

Regards

Add the following codes (change to your needs) into 'hmcustom.tcl' :

 

   set mypath 'C:/Users/MYNAME/myscripts';   set top_menu [hm_framework getpulldowns]  catch {$top_menu delete [.hmMainMenuBar index 'MyMenu']}  catch {destroy $top_menu.custom}   menu $top_menu.custom -tearoff 0  $top_menu insert 20 cascade -label 'MyMenu' -menu $top_menu.custom   set cat1 $top_menu.custom  $cat1 add cascade -label 'Category 1' -underline 0 -menu [menu $cat1.mnu1 -title 'Cat-1']  $cat1.mnu1 add command -label 'Script 1' -command 'source {$mypath/script1.tcl}' -underline 0  $cat1.mnu1 add command -label 'Script 2' -command 'source {$mypath/script2.tcl}' -underline 0   $top_menu.custom add separator   set cat2 $top_menu.custom  $cat2 add cascade -label 'Category 2' -underline 0 -menu [menu $cat2.mnu2 -title 'Cat-2']  $cat2.mnu2 add command -label 'Script 21' -command 'source {$mypath/script21.tcl}' -underline 0  $cat2.mnu2 add command -label 'Script 22' -command 'source {$mypath/script22.tcl}' -underline 0  

 

Start HM and you get your customized menus, see screenshot.

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
