I am actually trying to do something pretty simple.

I have a listbox in which the user can double-click 
individual rows to open a window pertaining to that row. I am 
allowing a user to open any number of 'row-windows,'but only 
one copy of any one row-window. Thus, I would like to bring a 
pre-existing row-window to the foreground instead of opening 
a second copy.

My approach was to have the listbox's double click event 
method first check for an existing window (having an ID value 
in a property) before spawing a new window.
