    Hi,
    In skill, we can get the topCellView by,
    topCV = hiGetCurrentWindow()->topCellView

    But how to get the cellview id of the cellview that we would go to when
    we do geReturn(), ie just one level above.

    Thanks in advance.

    regards,
    Suresh J

    Suresh,

    One way (may be others) is to use the return value of
    geGetHierMemInst() - this is a list of instance objects
    describing how you got here - from each of these you can
    look at the ~>cellView attribute to see what cellView they were
    in.

    Andrew.

    Andrew,
    I am doing something like this to get the parent cellview,
    caar(last(geGetHierMemInst()))->cellView

    I am happy.
    Thanks.
