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

    You could use this code:

    Function which can be used as a label on a symbol, to say
    which view is being used in a config.
    
    Create an ILLabel, with value "abWhichView()"
