Descending into an instance

naavika
naavika over 13 years ago

I am using geSwitch() to descend into an instnce as:

dvid=dbGetInstanceByName(geGetEditCellView() "Instance_name");
geSwitch(hiGetCurrentWindow() "r" dvid 0 1 1 ); descend into the instance of which the id is given by previous command 

This doesn't take care of the config views.

For example, if the "instnce_name" is made as symbol in config (which is opened in read mode),

the above command will just escends into the instance_name taking the instance as schematic and not symbol.

Can anyone please let me know how to take care of the view set by the config? and if instance_name is symbol, then how to give a popup saying that "This is out of context" and not descend into schematic view?

    Hi naavika

    It is not possible for geSwitch to make use of the information in a config view. How about using dbGetAnyInstSwitchMaster? Please refer to $CDSHOME/doc/skdfref/skdfref.pdf.
