Getting schematic instances from multiple open schematics

Hi,

I want write a skill routine that lets the user interactively select instances from multiple schematics & get those instance names. I tried geAddSelectPoint(), but that will prompt the user to select instances only from the current cellview. I tried dbGetOpenCellViews(), but that will get me all the open cellviews in memory including the ones not open currently.

Any ideas on how to get started will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaju

Thanks. Both are excellent suggestions. But I'm doing this to select instances for an ADE-XL session. So I found an easier way to do this & tired using "asiSelectInst" with this code:
;get a unique form handle
win = sprintf( nil "%s" hiGetCurrentWindow() )
form = concat( 'iphdcopTabForm substring(win 8 strlen(win)) )

;top level form
unless( boundp(form)
hiCreateAppForm(
?name form
?formTitle "Inphi DC Operating Point Report"
?initialSize 290:200
?buttonLayout list(
'Empty
list( 'Create\ Report 'IPHdcopTabCB )
list( 'Close 'hiFormClose )
)

?fields list(
hiCreateStringField(
?name 'cell
?prompt "Test Bench"
?defValue axlGetSessionCellName( ses )
?editable nil
)
hiCreateCyclicField(
?name 'test
?prompt "Select Test"
?choices cadr( axlGetTests(axldb) )
)
hiCreateRadioField(
?name 'mode
?prompt "Sort by"
?choices list("Corner" "Instance")
?defValue "Corner"
)
hiCreateButton(
?name 'select
?buttonText "Select Instance"
?callback "asiSelectInst('inst ?form form)"
)
hiCreateStringField(
?name 'inst
?prompt "Instances"
)
)
)
)

form->asiSession = asiGetCurrentSession()
hiDisplayForm(form)

But I get this warning when I hit the select button & no instances are selected.
*Warning* No window and/or doneProc argument passed to
"astiSelectInst", selection not started

Any ideas?
