Posts: 27                There's been various discussion in the past that 
referencing a closed window is Bad.

Is this safe?

If myMaybeClosedWindow <> nil and myMaybeClosedWindow.visible = false then
 myMaybeClosedWindow = new window
End If

Location: Lenexa, KS                Personally I like doing this:

for i as integer = 0 to windowcount-1
  if window(i) isa myMaybeClosedWindow then
  //have one open
  return
  end
next

//not open?  create a new one.
dim w as new myMaybeClosedWindow
w.show


I like to run with ImplicitInstance = false on my windows.  It resolved a lot 
of issues like this.  Of course this assumes that the name of your window is 
myMaybeClosedWindow.
