Determining the currently active window

Hi Guys,

I love the flexibility of the multiple window feature built into FMP 7 but am still getting to grips with using them. What I need is a function/method to determine which is the currently active window (the foreground window). I have looked at the Get(WindowVisible) function and its not quite what I need. Is this even possible to achieve?

Thanks in advance

Catherine

Not sure if this helps, but Get (WindowNames) has this in the description - "Returns a list of the names of windows that are currently open. The window could be visible, hidden, or minimized. The order of the names in the list matches the current stacking order of the windows. The visible windows are listed first, then the minimized windows, then the hidden windows."

I don't see Get(WindowNames) in the trial version, but perhaps it's only in v2?

If it is, then use LeftValues( Get(WindowNames), 1 ).
