geGetTopLevelCellView

geGetTopLevelCellView( 
[ w_windowId ] 
)
=> d_cellview / nil

Description

Returns the ID of the top-level cellview displayed in a window.

This function returns nil if the current window is empty or if no current window is defined. Only if you descend in the hierarchy or do an edit in place would the top-level cellview be different from the edit and display cellviews. If you know the window you are interested in, a shorthand equivalent to this function can be used:
window(n)->topCellView.

Arguments

w_windowId

Database ID of the window in which the cellview is at the top level.

Value Returned

d_cellview	Database ID of top-level cellview in the window.
nil	The current window is empty or no current window is defined.

Examples

Returns db:664422, which is the top-level cellview.
