Is there any way to forcing update for layout environment value?

iDave

when we use envSetVal to change a value for  layout cell view, such as enableDimming , the current layout won’t update display result.  But when we reopen this layout , the display is changed.  So is there have any command to forcing update the tool environment value?

Regards 

Dave

    Hi Dave,

    I assume you mean the cdsenv:

    layout dimmingOn boolean t

    which you can set with:

    envSetVal("layout" "dimmingOn" 'boolean t)

    In general, changing it for the current window is done by setting the same property on the window:

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingOn=t

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingOn=t is what I want.

    Thank you.
