The question on TK in VCS.

vcs ucli gui

Hi, all,

I am responsible for shifting from Modelsim to VCS MX environment. There are several Tcl files which perform well in modelsim. But when we run in DVE, some commands inside these files are not recognized by the UCLI. Such as:

winfo, toplevel

It seems that these commands are TK rather than Tcl. And UCLI supports only Tcl.

My guess is correct?
I don't have much knowledge of Tcl. Could u give me some idea how to handle it?

Many thanks

hi, spauls

Could u help me check the TK scripts below in VCS:

#!/usr/bin/wish
toplevel .top
button .top.quit -text Quit
pack .top.quit -padx 20 -pady 10


Above TK commands are totally not recognized by UCLI. But Modelsim can.

If VCS does not support TK, do you have other approach to create a windows in VCS environment?


Many thanks.

Many thanks.

UCLI is a TCL based interface, no TK (AFAIK), instead DVE should allow this. Did you contact vcs_support?

BTW - what does this TK application implement? Maybe you can redesign it, if time permits.

This is just a simple example using TK. As for the application, I need to create a popup window ( which is generated through "toplevel" command). This window will accept input of some parameters while show the corresponding result.

BTW, what's "Instead DVE should allow this?" mean?

DVE is the GUI based on TK-like stuff and hence there you may be able to do this. UCLI is a pure command line interface and hence it won't let you do the TK stuff - but this is AFAIK. The best is to contact vcs_support.
