Script to check if a table or analysis is active

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to tell if you are working on a data table or working on an analysis window.  I'd like to have an if statement so that if you are in a data table the script will do one thing, and if you are in an analysis window the script will do something else.

 

Thanks for any ideas!

You should be able to check which window is active with Current Window() <<</CODE><EM>Get Window Title</EM> and use that with Try-structure with <EM>Datatable(reference) << get name</EM> (or <EM>N Rows(Datatable(reference)</EM> for example.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Example:</P><PRE><CODE class=" language-jsl">Names Default To Here(1); Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Consumer Preferences.jmp"); wait(2); curWindow = current window() << Get Window Title; //get window title to curWindow variable //use Try to check if curWindow is datatable with << Get name or N Rows Try( //Show(N Rows(Datatable(curWindow))), Write(Datatable(curWindow) << Get Name || " --- this is datatable\!N"), //datatable Write(curWindow || " --- this is not datatable\!N"); //not datatable ); wait(1); //create "analysis" which should became active nw = New Window("Consumer Preferences", Graph Builder( Size(495, 450), Show Control Panel(0), Variables(X(:Single Status)), Elements(Points(X, Legend(2))) ); ); wait(1); //repeat test used earlier curWindow = current window() << Get Window Title; Try( Write(Datatable(curWindow) << Get Name || " --- this is datatable"), //datatable Write(curWindow || " --- this is not datatable"); //not datatable );
