Description

Displays a pop-up menu at the location of the cursor. The menu displayed is sensitive to the location of the cursor and the mode of the cellview in the window. Usable when editing schematics or symbols.

Selection is dependent on the schHiSetSelectOptions settings.

For schematic and symbol views, a set of menu categories have been predefined. Each category defines the conditions in which the cursor will display that menu. In addition, each category has a menu that you can customize and to which you can assign read and edit access modes.

When only one object is in the selected set, the type of object determines the category. Context sensitivity can be turned off with the sensitiveMenu option. When turned off, the schStandard and symStandard categories are used.
