Why not just keep a hash of all open windows with references to them. Then you can check to see if they're open and if so, use the reference to focus it.

Currently I can double click a name in my buddy list and create a new window. The problem is if the window already exists and I double click the buddies name again I create another window. What I am trying to do is build in the ability for the buddy list to check if a window has already been created for the selected buddy, and if it has, bring the window forward and set it's focus. I was playing around with NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows but I'm not really sure how I use this, all I did was trace() the object. Am I on the right track? If so, then what would be my next step, if not then how would I check for a windows existence? Thanks! Steve Good http://lanctr.com
