    I have skill code that only works if the user is running Layout XL.
    Is there a way to check if the current window is running Layout XL?

    Thank you in advance,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,

    Never done this before to be honest.
    I just tried the following:
    1. I have opened a layout-XL window and then tried the following in
    the CIW:
    CIW> hiGetCurrentWindow()~>??
    This returned a list of properties among which I could find the
    following :
    lxMenusLoaded=t
    lxMenuList= list of loaded menus.

    The above couple of properties do not show up for a normal layout
    window.

    So as a first thought, I'd look at whether hiGetCurrentWindow()-
    There might be other ideas I suppose ...

    Cheers,
    Riad.

    In IC613, it could also return "VLS-GXL" if you're at the GXL tier.

    Regards,
