open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Get the current NotebookObject notebook being evaluated:

Wolfram Language code: EvaluationNotebook[]

Use the object for further processing:

Wolfram Language code: Options[EvaluationNotebook[], WindowSize]

Applications  (1)

Create a palette button that writes to the input notebook and then closes the palette:

Wolfram Language code: pal = CreatePalette[{Button["Test", NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[], "Done"];NotebookClose[ EvaluationNotebook[]]]}];

Properties & Relations  (2)

The notebook that starts an evaluation might not be the input notebook:

Wolfram Language code: nb = CreateDocument["document"]; {InputNotebook[], EvaluationNotebook[]}

ScheduledTask evaluations have no evaluation notebook and return $Failed:

Wolfram Language code: SessionSubmit[ScheduledTask[NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[], Cell[ToString[EvaluationNotebook[]], "Output"]], {1}]];

Possible Issues  (1)

Moving the selection in the evaluation notebook does not change the output cell location:

Wolfram Language code: SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], Previous, Cell, 3];0
