I just had a doh! moment in response to your <the short name of
pStackLongID>, but then in order to see how much faster the engine
does this, I tested it the same way I tested my first tries (which
was actually with 10000 iterations, not 1000), and
function stackIsOpen pLongID
return (the short name of pLongID is among the lines of the
openstacks)
end stackIsOpen
takes nearly 600 ms!
And you're right, of course, the original question was as you
described. I didn't read it carefully enough. Though, as far as I can
see, the original stackIsOpen function will work ok for the long id
of any control of a main stack, provided the stack has a file name.
Best,
Mark

(checking the windowID took 500 ms).
The trouble with 'value(word wordoffset("stack",pLongID)+1 of
pLongID)' is that given the long id of a stack, it returns the
full path of the stack, so is never in the openStacks.
True. The original request was for a way to identify the stack
that held the long ID of an object in the stack, so that's what my
script did. But you're right, it wouldn't work with file paths.
For long IDs that are stack file paths, you can use:
get (the short name of pStackLongID is in the openstacks)
Oh, and re-reading this, I think your method is better regarding
"among the lines of" -- it prevents one of those forward-looking
potential bugs we've been talking about on the list recently. So I
revise myself:
get (the short name of pStackLongID is among the lines of the
openstacks)
