That's just it, i want to see if the window is generated or not, without generating it.

I cycle through all available windows and check if the maxheight value matches the one im looking for. If it does I know the window exists and is open, if its not found, the window isnt open. Since I'm using a floating window and i want the title bar to be small, this window doesn't have a Title property which is what I would normally check.

As a workaround I use the window.maxheight property to uniquely identify a
window.

That's brilliantly sneaky.

But what problem is this meant to solve? When a window is generated you are
holding a leash with the window at the other end; if you will need to
identify the window later, just don't let go of the leash. m.
