How to get windowID of Skill IDE?

Kevin Li
Kevin Li over 3 years ago

My purpose is to change the window size and position of IDE window.

I tried hiResizeWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow() list(0:0 1110:1050)) but found out not working for me.

Is there any other solutions?

    hiGetCurrentWindow() doesn't work because the window is intentionally not the current window (so that you can run code that works on the real application "current" window.

    You could use this, I guess:

    ideWin=car(exists(win hiGetWindowList() pcreMatchp("SKILL IDE" hiGetWindowName(win))))
