How to convert wtype (window type) to string?

DesmondLiu

Hi all,

     I want to customize my filter style for LPP, first I need to know my current window so I used  hiGetCurrentWindow() but it returns wtype data, I can't use it to feed into pteSetSearchMatchType and pteSetSearchOperator functions. Could anybody help me on this? Thanks a lot.

    Both pte* function takes a window ID which is what hiGetCurrnetWindow() returns. So I don't see the need to convert it to a string. Also if the windowId is not given, the current window ID is assumed by these two pte* functions.

    Here is a command to get you the palette window regardless of the current window:

    procedure(myGetPaletteWindow()
        lswWin = car(setof(x hiGetWindowList() hiGetAppType(x)=="Palette"))
    )

    This works when the layer palette is setup as a separate window:

    bash/ksh/sh: export CDS_PALETTE_TYPE=SingleWindow
    csh/tcsh: setenv CDS_PALETTE_TYPE SingleWindow

    Derek,

    That's true, but unnecessary in this case (and it will only work in IC616 when you have a single separate "LSW-style" palette). These functions (in the original question) don't require the window id of the palette window, but the corresponding layout window AFAIK.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
