  • Hi, 

    I don't believe that you can change the window id number, it is managed by Virtuoso directly

    To extract it, you can do the following : 

    ;; My window shows 5(13) in its bottom left corner
;; It displays a schematic cellview and other dockable windows (also called assistants)

;; From support.cadence.com/.../ArticleAttachmentPortalt
;; "SKILL procedure to have only the window number returned"
procedure( getWinNum()
   window=hiGetCurrentWindow()
   window->windowNum
)

;; Other solution is to extract the number directly from window representation
(defun get_win_number (win)
  (atoi (cadr (parseString (lsprintf "%L" win) ":"))))

;; Current window (the one showing the cellview)
win = (hiGetCurrentWindow)
win->windowNum
;; => 13
(get_win_number win)
;; => 13

;; Session window (it contains the main window and the dockable ones)
swin = (hiGetSessionWindow win)
;; Unfortunately in my case the following does not work
swin->windowNum
;; => -2147483643
(get_win_number swin)
;; => 5

    Hope this helps
