O.P. Check if window is already open?
Ive been told to ask this by Spunky because his internet is fuxxored.

Is there any other way of ensuring that only one instance of a window is open other than using:
code:
try{
wnd.close(1);
}catch(E){}

RE: Check if window is already open?
Well, the way I do it is by creating a global array where I store all my opened PlusWnd objects in. Then, in my general window creator function, I say that if typeof Wnd[WndId] == "object", it should focus the existing window instead of opening a new one. But you must remember that in all OnWndIdEvent_Destroyed events, you should set the value of the window's member in the array to false, or remove it from the array.

You can see a working example of this in all of my scripts, the most recent is Log Manager, but Countdown Live and Calculator also have such (older) functions. Feel free to copy/modify/mess with the code you need to do this, but please ask for permission if you want to copy some other sh*t. :P
