Prevent Window GUI to become current window

Hi All,

I created a quite complex GUI that I need as a window (with toolbar, no buttons, a specific icon etc.)

(hiOpenWindow ?type "form" ?form my_custom_form)

However this window (which is not attached to any session) is becoming the current one and prevents me from accessing current cellview (from the CIW)

1> geGetSelectedSet
*WARNING* (GE-2015): There is no cellview assigned to window(5) because the window is not a graphic editor window, or because it has been corrupted.
Make sure that your current window is a valid graphic editor window or contact customer service to investigate this issue.
nil

1> css
*WARNING* selectedSet: No current cellView.
nil

Is there any mean to prevent my custom window from becoming the current one instead of a design cellview one?

I guess I can still write my own get_current_window, get_current_cellview and get_selection functions and filter the session windows but can I easily retrieve the top bottom order of the windows (instead of the index order)?

Cheers,

Aurel

Hi Aurel,

This solution looks so simple and obvious it is both awesome and frustrating

It works perfectly as usual

Thanks Andrew
