Changing top view reference in a config view

skillprogramme

I can't find any way to change the top view of a config view corresponding to an ADEXL view. It is possible to retrieve the top view by fex

hdbGetTopCell(hdbConfig)

hdbGetTopView(hdbConfig)

hdbGetTopLib(hdbConfig) 

but there's no obvious way to set it (hdbSetTopCell fex). The hdbBind doesn't seem to provide the functionality and the example documentation in your_install_dir/tools/hdb/examples/hdbTraverse.il doesn't either. The config file is not a big thing, so it is easy to hack a solution, but it would better to do it through an API. Any help is very appreciated, I am (still) a relatively inexperienced SKILL programmer.

    Both axlGetCornerName(cornerHandle) and axlSetCornerName(cornerHandle newName) is also not documented. I must say, it is a little troublesome using the axl.* and hdb.* APIs when essential/fundamental functions are missing from the documentation and there's no examples to look at (at least not what I have found). Is there a way to view the full list of public functions for the API's, documented or not? It would help a lot. (please tell me if there's some place with fex. examples I haven't looked, or if I haven't looked well enough)
