I'm trying to close a certain Window without knowing if it is open. Of
course w.close instantiates the window if it doesn't exist.

This basic code works for a specific known window class myWindow:

    For i as integer = (WindowCount-1) downto 0
      if Window(i) isa MyWindow then Window(i).close
    Next


I'd like a generalized function where I could pass any window class  
and
close it if it is open. Something approximating this:

  Function CloseWindow (W as Window)
     For i as integer = (WindowCount-1) downto 0
      if Window(i) isa W then Window(i).close
    Next
  End Function

The problem above is the compiler complains that w is not a class.

Is there a solution that I'm missing?


Perhaps; the problem is not entirely clear to me.  Is it that you  
want to close the framework-supplied instance of a window subclass,  
if open?
