hiMapWindow

hiMapWindow(
w_windowId 
) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Displays a window, dockable window, or session window on screen.

If the window is within a session window, its tab is raised to the top and displayed. If the window is a dock window, it is mapped to its last state—docked or floating. If the window has been iconified, it is deiconified.

The window must have been displayed at one time with hiDisplayWindow, hiOpenWindow, or hiDockWindow. This function is usually used in conjunction with hiUnmapWindow, which removes a window from the screen without closing it.

Do not use this function to display dock windows initially, use hiDockWindow instead.

This function is not available in Concept SKILL. For more information, see Design Entry HDL–SKILL Routines.

w_windowId

Window, dock window, or session window that you want to map.

Value Returned

t

The window is redisplayed.

nil

w_windowId is invalid or the window has never been displayed. An error message is also issued.
