geGetWindowCellView

geGetWindowCellView( 
[ w_windowId ] 
) 
=> d_cellview / nil 

Description

Returns the ID of the cellview displayed in a window.

This function returns nil if the current window is empty or if no current window is defined. The cellview being displayed in the window can be different from the cellview being edited, as returned by geGetEditCellView, if you are currently editing a cell in place.

You can use the database identifier returned by geGetWindowCellView in subsequent function calls to access the properties of the cellview in the current window. If you know what window you are interested in, a shorthand equivalent to this function can be used: window(n)->displayCellView.

You also use the function gwc, which is a shortcut for the function, geGetWindowCellView.

Arguments

w_windowId

Database ID of window displaying the cellview whose object identifier you want.

Value Returned

d_cellview	Database ID of the object displayed in the window.
nil	The current window is empty or no current window is defined.

Examples

Returns db:123456, which is the displayed cellview.
