I just recently purchased 4coder and trying to dive into the customization layer. I'm also a beginner in C++ so bear with me!
I always use 2 panels side-by-side and have code wrapping enabled. I'd like to disable wrapping and have a toggle-binding that "expands" the active panel, and then restores the split panels with their buffers if it is pressed a second time.
I came up with the following command which does what I want. The only problem is I'm not aware of way to tell if the active panel is at the left or right of the other panel. I currently have it set up to always open a new panel to the right.
So what I'm looking for is a way to pass ViewSplit_Right/ViewSplit_Left to the open_view() function, depending on which panel has been previously expanded.

Reason: Initial post
I don't know if there is a way to know which view is which by default.
One way you could achieve this would be to mark the view yourself when they are created using a view managed scope, managed_variable_create, managed_variable_set and managed_variable_get.
I never used managed scope and variables so I can't really help you further but there are 3 blog posts on the subject:
Memory management overview
Memory management variables and objects
Memory management scopes.
A simpler way to achieve what you want is just to set the width of the desired view to 100% to hide the other view and set it back to 50% when you want both view again. It has the advantage of keeping your position in the view when you're looking at the same buffer in both views. The title bar text of the two buffers will overlap when you maximize the right view though.

That's what I meant by
I've already reported that bug to Allen.
