    Charley,

    If you are calling dbOpenCellViewByType(), then it won't return until the cellView has loaded - so I don't see why you need to know when it has finished loading - it will have done.

    If you're talking about opening in the layout editor, you should be able to use the userPostInstallTrigger (registered with deRegUserTriggers) to do this (I think - I've not checked).

    It's not that clear to me what problem you're trying to solve.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Andrew , I use layout editor to open a cell . Because when there is a large layout design , it needs to load many cells (e.g. pcells ... , ) ..., it spends much time , and i want to do something when cell is finished loading. I don't want to wait it just sit there and determine . Thank you, Charley
