mspEditIEProps

mspEditIEProps( 
t_objectType
)
=> t / nil

Description

This is the main entry procedure for the Interface Element property editor. It takes an object type. The object type can be one of instTerm, instance, terminal, cellView, lib, or default.

This function first calls a selection function appropriate for the object type, which prompts the user to select an object. When the object has been selected, the selection function will execute its callback. An exception to this is that for lib and default objectType values, no selection functions are called. Next, the IE model property editor is called to create a parameter entry form for the current ieModel. The callbacks to this form will attach properties to the object selected earlier.

Arguments

t_objectType

The object type.

Value Returned

t

The IE properties are edited.

This value is returned immediately after the function is called denoting that the function has completed execution. The function does not wait for the actions mentioned in the description to complete. It is only responsible for invoking the selection function which generates the callback action and subsequent updation of properties is needed.

nil

The command cannot be run.
