Is there a way to get the current Column (that has focus)? Thanks in advance!

Looks like this is how you get the current column:

getInPlaceColumnIndex(m)

Thanks!

Thanks!

int ColNum = getInPlaceColumnIndex(current Module)

Seems to get the column only when you are currently in-place editing under that column.

int CurrCol = getSelectedCol(mod)
Column col = column(mod, ColNum)

Gets the currently selected column (column title background is gray) and converts to a Column handle

How to get current column in layout DXL script itself?
I need to access column title string of a layout DXL column from within the same layout DXL script. For example: a layout DXL column displaying the title of the same layout DXL column such that it shouldn't fail even after changing its position (column number) in the view due to addition or deletion of the columns presiding it.

Since DOORS 9.1 you can use the Column currentColumn() perm. For earlier versions we discussed some techniques here:
