     Not sure why you need to change the current window using SKILL, but it would be hiSetCurrentWindow(windowId)

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Zfeng,

    How do you propose to input your desire to switch between the windows if you don't use the mouse or keyboard?  Perhaps you are referring to the technology that follows where your eyes are looking and raises the window?  If so I don't think that feature is integrated with Linux or our tools.  Seriously though, you would have to hit a key or use the mouse (or perhaps just wait for a pre-determined amount of time?) to "switch" or "change" between windows - I think that a bindkey is the approach for this, one defined for each "application" to raise the other window.  Or you could have a bindkey that operates in the CIW and it just cycles through the available windows - use this bindkey until the correct window is prominent.  The SKILL function for doing this is hiRaiseWindow() - I assume this is what you are asking for?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
