Find a form

Paul,

Normally I'd bring up the form and do hiGetCurrentForm()->hiFormSym (I think that's the slot - but ->? will list it) to find the name of the form I'm dealing with. However, there's also hiFormList() which will list all forms defined. I used this in a reply yesterday: http://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/48/p/33188/1341362#1341362

Note that some forms are dynamically generated, so this won't necessarily help you - depends on what you're looking for.

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks for the info. The gui is a dynamic gui and I can find the gui, but variable does not have the menu variables.

What I have

foreach(gui hiFormList()
    if(rexMatchp("daForm" symbolToString(gui)) then
        guiList = cons(gui guiList))
    )

 If I do a

tmp = car(guiList)

tmp~>??

(_hiInValueSetCB nil)

Am I saving the info correctly or do I need  to access variable with another function.

Paul

Paul,

No need to do symbolToString, as rexMatchp can take a symbol as the second argument. In fact you could do this using:

guiList=rexMatchList("daForm" hiFormList())

Then you've got the symbol for the form, not the form data structure itself. So you'd need to do:

tmp=symeval(car(guiList))

Then you should be OK.

Regards,

Andrew
