Descending into a cell - skill function

swdesigner
swdesigner over 14 years ago

I currently bind my key to call schHiDescend, and work on the form.

 

Is there a way to bypass the form and call a function with the name of an instance in the current cellview to descend into it?

 

Thanks

    Hi,

    I think that you might be able to use the dePush() function for performing a descend edit/read with no form or other user interaction required. For the schematic environment, each of the descend functions are schHiDescend.* (the "Hi" secondary prefix indicates that the function has a Human Interface, perhaps a form, and so would not meet your needs). There is a deReturn() function, and also geReturn() and geReturnToLevel() functions.

    Hopefully this will help you in your task.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
