What I want to do is to set the default page layout when DOORS is opened. I have some DXL to do this:
current = pageLayout(" SEL Letter Landscape") My problem now is running this whenever anybody logs in. We already have a batch file that people use to set up the registry for the DXL menus that we use and it would be simple to add a bit that sets the CLI variable to this code. But, the CLI registry setting doesn't seem to do anything, contrary to what the manual implies. Any ideas on how to implement this? Am I using the CLI setting wrong? Thanks Chris |

The manual says that "cli" and "dxl work in the command line and is silent, as usual, that they do NOT work in the registry. They don't.
There is no DB login trigger; a fact that astounds me to this day. We've got a module-open trigger that runs once per day (actually it figures out if its already run for this user) that collects user and client data such as their DOORS version; and such a trigger could realistically be modified to run once per session and then do whatever we need it to do. That's a clumsy solution. Another option is to modify all client's startup.dxl to do what you want. Another is to insist that all users insert your DXL into their DOORS icons. Lots of lousy options. - Louie |

The solution I settled on was to use the batch file to append a line to startup.dxl that will do it. Not the most elegant (hope nobody runs it multiple times), but it works. Thanks for your input Louie.

I'd have your batch file first look for the string before appending it.
