How to raise the schematic window by SKILL ?

Try reading the Cadence User Interface SKILL Functions Reference manual, in <ICinstDir>/doc/skuiref/skuiref.pdf (or via cdsdoc). Or search in cdsFinder for likely functions.

You need to use hiRaiseWindow() or hiDeiconifyWindow()  . You may also want to use hiGetWindowIconifyState() to find out whether it is "iconized" (minimized) or not.

In addition to Andrew's post, you can use something like the following code to help you to find and then iterate over the schematic windows:

  setof(win hiGetWindowList() 
    rexMatchp("chematic" hiGetAppType(win))
  )
  => returns a list of window id's where the window is a schematic application

You can then iterate over this list (e.g. with foreach) and decide whether to raise or de-iconify the window.

Hopefully this additional information is helpful.

Hello Sir,

Thank you all for replying, I think I solved my problem by following your

advice. My solution is as follows :

hiSetBindkey("Command Interpreter" "Ctrl<Key>s" "deIconify_schematic() ")

procedudre (deIconify_schematic()

cv=geGetEditCellView()

hiDeiconifyWindow(geGetCellViewWindow(cv))

hiRaiseWindow(geGetCellViewWindow(cv))

)

It is working, I will try tomorrow about  Lawrence suggestion.

Thank you very much,

Hi Marbs,

No point in using geGetEditCellView() and then using geGetCellViewWindow() to get the window id. Simpler to just directly use hiGetCurrentWindow() - e.g. hiRaiseWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow())

Hi Marbs,

I think that this solution will only work if the schematic cellview happened to be the current cellview window. Since there can be only one current cellview window, I would expect it to be another window, other than the hidden or iconified schematic that you are trying to pop up.  In other words, if the schematic window is "buried" or iconified and you are working with layout or other graphical windows, one of these will likely be current which would render the above code functionally incorrect (it won't specifically raise the schematic, just whichever window is current).

Good luck looking at my suggestion, I think it will better solve the problem.

Regards,

Lawrence.
