How to find out the windowID of an open cell-view

Sheppie

Hi,

How do I do the following:
Using the procedure dbGetOpenCellViews() you get the list of all open cell-views in virtual memory. This lists both cell-views open in an editor window (i.e. opened through the librrary manager) and cell-views that are not opened in an editor window (i.e. opened using dbOpenCellViewByType()) I'd like to filter all cell-views which are opened in an editor window. So as an example:

I have two open cell-views: 1 = libA/cell1/view in a window and libB/cell2/view in memory only. The filetered list should only contain the database ID of  libA/cell1/view.

When you want to close data (CIW->File->Close Data) it presents a table listing all open cell-views. Ini this table, the window ID is shown (in the "status" column) if it is in an editor window. This is what I would like to know.

I could also specificly look for a particular lib/cell/view to see if it is opened or not by using procedure dbFindOpenCellView(), but this will only return the cell-view ID, not the windowID.

So the short question: how do I find the window ID from a cell-view ID?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Sjoerd

    Hi Sjoerd,

    A cell view is an OA database object and it does not have window ID, so there's no way to get from a given cell view to a window. It does work the other way round though, for a window id you can get at the contained cell view. Here's how you get the cellviews that are currently displayed in a window:

    wCvs = (setof cv (foreach mapcar wid (hiGetWindowList) (geGetWindowCellView wid)) cv)

    You need to filter with setof() because (geGetWindowCellView wid) returns nil for windows that do not contain a cell view...the CIW as an example.
    You may then create the difference between dbgetOpenCellViews() and the list from the command above and there you go...

    (setof cv dbGetOpenCellViews() (not (member cv wCvs)))

    I think you could also use geGetCellViewWindow(cvId) to find out whether there is a window for each cellView?

    Hi Andrew,

    I wasn't aware of that function - so there must be some internal mapping between cell views and containing windows...
