Description

dev_open_tooldev_open_toolDevOpenToolDevOpenToolDevOpenTooldev_open_tool opens a HDevelop tool, a non-modal dialog, or assistant. The parameter ToolNameToolNameToolNameToolNametoolNametool_name contains the name of the tool to be opened. This operator returns the ToolIdToolIdToolIdToolIdtoolIdtool_id of the newly created tool, which can be used by operators like dev_set_tool_geometrydev_set_tool_geometryDevSetToolGeometryDevSetToolGeometryDevSetToolGeometrydev_set_tool_geometry, dev_show_tooldev_show_toolDevShowToolDevShowToolDevShowTooldev_show_tool, dev_close_tooldev_close_toolDevCloseToolDevCloseToolDevCloseTooldev_close_tool to address a specific tool. The opened tool automatically becomes active.

For the ToolNameToolNameToolNameToolNametoolNametool_name 'halcon_news'"halcon_news""halcon_news""halcon_news""halcon_news""halcon_news", an empty ToolIdToolIdToolIdToolIdtoolIdtool_id is returned because this simply opens the news page.

With GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name and GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValuegen_param_value it can be specified which page is displayed and more. See below. The use of GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name and GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValuegen_param_value is optional. If they are set to [] the tool opens with default settings.

The parameters RowRowRowRowrowrow and ColumnColumnColumnColumncolumncolumn can be used to open the tool at a specific position. Note that the offset values specified under Edit -> Preferences -> General Options -> General Options -> Window open offset are added to the row and the column index, respectively. For more information, see the chapter “Menu Edit” in the “HDevelop User's Guide”. In order to apply the standard behavior, that is in general opening the tool at the last position, 'default'"default""default""default""default""default" can be passed.

The parameters WidthWidthWidthWidthwidthwidth and HeightHeightHeightHeightheightheight can be used to open the tool with a specific size. In order to apply the standard behavior, that is in general opening the tool with the last size, 'default'"default""default""default""default""default" can be passed. If WidthWidthWidthWidthwidthwidth and HeightHeightHeightHeightheightheight are less than the minimum size of the tool the minimum size is used.

The tool is closed by pressing the Close button of the window frame, or by calling dev_close_tooldev_close_toolDevCloseToolDevCloseToolDevCloseTooldev_close_tool.

Attention

This operator is not supported for code export.
