addmenu interactive button or menu definition addmenu(button [,submenus] [,action]) addmenu(gwin,button [,submenus] [,action]) button a character string. The button name. An & can be placed before the character in the name to be used for keyboard shortcut; this character will be underlined on the GUI. Under MacOSX, a sub-menu with the same name is automatically added (no button can be added to the menu bar). submenus a vector of character string. The sub_menus items names action a list with 2 elements action=list(flag,proc_name) flag an integer (default value is 0) flag==0 the action is defined by a scilab instruction flag==1 the action is defined by a C or Fortran procedure flag==2 the action is defined by a scilab function proc_name a character string which gives the name of scilab variable containing the instruction or the name of procedure to call. gwin integer. The number of graphic window where the button is required to be installed The function allows the user to add new buttons or menus in the main window or graphics windows command panels. If action argument is not given the action associated with a button must be defined by a scilab instruction given by the character string variable which name is + button for a main window command + button_gwin for a graphic window command If action argument is set to 0 proc_name should be the name of a Scilab string vector. Actions associated with the kth sub_menu must be defined by scilab instructions stored in the kth element of the character string variable. If action argument is set to 1 proc_name designes a C or Fortran procedure, this procedure may be interfaced in Fortran subroutine default/fbutn.f or dynamically linked with scilab using the link function. The C calling sequence is: (char* button_name, int* gwin,int *k) If action argument is set to 2 proc_name designes a Scilab function. This function calling sequence should be: + proc_name(k)for a main window command + proc_name(k,gwin)for a graphic window command or a main window command if (getscilabmode() == "STD") then addmenu('foo'); foo = 'disp(''hello'')'; addmenu('Hello',['Franck';'Peter']) Hello = ['disp(''hello Franck'')';'disp(''hello Peter'')']; addmenu('Bye',list(0,'French_Bye')); French_Bye = 'disp(''Au revoir'')'; else mprintf('This example requires to use scilab with GUI mode.\n'); end addmenu(0,'Hello',['Franck';'Peter']); Hello_0 = ['disp(''hello Franck'')';'disp(''hello Peter'')']; //C defined Callback // creating Callback code code=[ '#include ""machine.h""' '#include ""sciprint.h""' 'void foo(char *name, int *win, int *entry)' '{' ' if (*win==-1) ' ' sciprint(""menu %s(%i) in Scilab window selected.\n"", name, *entry+1);' ' else' ' sciprint(""menu %s(%i) in window %i selected.\n"", name, *entry+1, *win);' '}']; //creating foo.c file current_dir = pwd(); chdir(TMPDIR); mputl(code, TMPDIR+'/foo.c'); //creating Makefile ilib_for_link('foo','foo.c',[],'c'); exec('loader.sce'); chdir(current_dir); //add menu addmenu(0,'foo',['a','b','c'],list(1,'foo')); setmenu unsetmenu delmenu
