How to get the windowId?

Siddique baig

Hi all,

 I am new to skill. Could anyone please explain me how to get the windowId ? 

  geOpen(
?window w_windowId
?lib t_lib
?cell t_cell
?view t_view
?viewType t_viewType
?mode t_mode
)
=> t / nil

I have all the required information such as lib name, cell view, view type and mode, but I am struggling to get the windowId. 

Thanks in advance !

    If you're trying to open a new window, simply omit the ?window argument - it will create a new window and return the windowId. If you have an existing window that you want to replace the contents, you could access that window Id using (say) hiGetCurrentWindow().

    Regards,

    Andrew.
