Peters code is a really nice generic solution - the alternative is to trap
the Window ID as you open it using FrontWindow().

Subject: MI-L WindowID
Listers,
Can anyone tell me if the following is possible?
In MapBasic I am opening a map window and naming it "Main" a second
window also opens which I call "Overview". Is it possible to get the WindowID
of the "Main" window and save it to a variable? Obviously each time I open
the window it has a different WindowID. I have done this before but I'd like
to know how others get the result so I'm trying not to be too leading with my
question.
Basically in plain English can I ask MapInfo "Hey MapInfo, what's the
Window ID of the Map Window I've named Main?"
Any help greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Dave
