How to find current visible assistants in schematic editor

MikeVP

Is there a SKILL function that reports the currently visible assistants in a schematic window?

I've tried:

foreach( assistant list( "Annotation Browser" "Navigator" "Probes" "Property Editor" "Search" "World View")
    awin=deFindAssistant( assistant hiGetSessionWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow()))
    dprint(awin->visibitlityProc)
)

But this yields no relevant information.  I can switch the visibility of assistants using the mouse and the output of this code doesn't change.

Any help would be appreciated.

    How about:

    foreach(mapcar assistant list( "Annotation Browser" "Navigator" "Probes" "Property Editor" "Search" "World View")
      dwin=deFindAssistant(assistant hiGetSessionWindow(hiGetCurrentWindow()) ?in_active_tab t)
      list(assistant hiGetWindowState(dwin))
    )

    This returns (for example):

    (("Annotation Browser" unmapped)
    ("Navigator" mapped)
    ("Probes" unmapped)
    ("Property Editor" mapped)
    ("Search" unmapped)
    ("World View" unmapped)
    )

    Those which are mapped are visible.
