hm_getitemnumberbytag

This command returns the number of a menu item on a panel using a tag (string).

Syntax

Type

HyperMesh Tcl GUI Command

Description

This command returns the number of a menu item on a panel using a tag (string). The number can then be used in other Tcl commands, such as hm_getinputentry or hm_setinputentry.

Inputs

panel_name

The name of the panel from which you want to retrieve a menu bar item number.

tag_name

The name of the menu item. Each entry item is assigned a name (hard coded) since there is no name on the panel. Valid names include:

hmfile_entry
import_entry
export_entry
command_entry
template_entry
results_entry

Example

This command will set the file name on the hm file subpanel to model.hm:

set id [hm_getitemnumberbytag files hmfile_entry]
hm_setinputentry files $id "model.hm"

This command may not be fully supported in future releases of HyperMesh. As the user interface changes, Tcl code used to customize the interface may also need changes.

Errors

None.
