maximizing and minimizing CIW with a skill function tied to bindkey

If hiFocusToCIW(hiGetCurrentWindow()) tied to bindkey can be used to pop screen focus to the CIW window - is there an opposite function to minimize the CIW and return focus to the layout window with a bindkey ?

thanks. just wondering

    Hi,

    So you would want a CIW bindkey to set the focus to the layout/current window, perhaps something like these actions:

    hiSetWindowFocus(hiGetCurrentWindow()) hiIconifyWindow(hiGetCIWindow())

    When setting a bindkey in the CIW the 'type' is Command Interpreter, e.g. hiSetBindKey("Command Interpreter" "Ctrl<Key>F12" ...)

    I hope this helps you.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
