dfII view type

Hello all,

How is it possible to get cell dfII view type of a view defined into dfII?
For example I have a "text" view available in my library browser, and I would
be able to get its type (defined in data.reg file) trough a skill command. How
can I do this?

Thanks,

Sam.

 

Sam:
Probably not the best way, but ...

objid=ddGetObj("lib" "cell" "view")

foreach(file objid~>files
when(member(ddMapGetFileViewType(file) ddMapGetViewTypeList())
viewType=ddMapGetFileViewType(file)
) ; when
) ; foreach

 

Hi Sam,
Do you mean this:
geGetEditCellView()->cellViewType
?

 

A better way:

objId=ddGetObj("lib" "cell" "view" "*")
viewType=objId && ddMapGetFileViewType(objId)

The "*" argument tells ddGetObj to access the file referenced by the
master.tag.

Regards,

Andrew.

 

That won't work with anything other than CDBA/OA viewtypes - i.e. stuff that
can be opened in a graphics editor. See my previous posting with a solution
for this.

Thanks for your precious answer Erik;

; First open the window and get the window:ID
wid = geOpen( ?lib libName ?cell cellName ?view viewName ?mode "r" )

; Get the database ID of the cell inside that window
cv = geGetWindowCellView( wid )

; Then get the cellViewType
cellViewType = cv~>cellViewType

Hope this help!

But as I mentioned in previous solutions, this approach won't work for a
textual cellView, because you can't do the geOpen(). Sam was asking
about "text" views.

I gave a solution for this in a previous post in this thread (in fact I then
wrote this up as a sourcelink solution too).

Nice try though ;-)

Best Regards,

Andrew.

 

Yeah I saw your message after my post.
