Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

I wondered if anybody else has this problem.
It happens when the program is running (the form is displayed), and I use Undo or Update symbols.
 
Its usually a minor annoyance, except for one program that modifies color and visibility settings. When the program exits normally, the color and visibility settings are restored, but if the program stops abnormally, then they aren't restored.

Does anybody know if this is a fixable problem, or can I put something in the code to detect this and exit gracefully?

Thanks!

Wrap the code throwing the error with the errset function. See the Error Handling section in the Skill User Guide.

If an error is thrown then errset.errset will be non-nil

Thanks fxf

Its going to take me awhile to check the errset function out. I have never used it before in Skill. I have used error trapping in Visual Basic, and it seems like it would be similar to Skill.

Its hard to know where to start because, the program form is displayed but the program is not actively doing anything. So where would I put the errset function?

Anyways I need to get my head into it.

If you create a function that calls makes several axl and Skill calls I would place the errset around that function.
Placing it around individual axl or Skill APIs would not be a good programming style.

Basically, it should be placed around a set of related programming like updating the database.
