Could you help me to solve these two questions?

I want to find the source code fot the self-defined function in virtuoso, i have two clues:

(1).the function name.

(2).the popup window invoked by the function.

 do you have any idea about how to find the source code for the function?

 

Thanks

    OK, if you have a form open and you want to find out the function that is called when you OK the form, you can do the following:

    1. Click in the form to ensure that it is "current" - i.e. it is the active form.
    2. In the CIW, type:
      form=hiGetCurrentForm()
    3. Then find the callback for the form, by typing: form->_doneAction
    4. If it's a field callback you're trying to find, you can also do form->fieldList to find all the fields, and if the field name is now, you can do form->fieldname->?? and you can then see all the attributes of that field (including _callback).
    5. In addition, if you turn on the log filter settings (under Options->Log Filter) you can see the SKILL function generated when you OK the form or interact with a field.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
