AW: O$: class name of a window instance

[Rudolf Bargholz]

Hi Jim,

As with so many things in life: it depends. If you are using subwindows then $cwind.$class().$name might be different to $cinst.$class().$name, as Udo mentioned. $cinst will return the subwindow instance, if a window class is used as a subwindow, whereas $cwind the reference to the top level window instance. Your workflow will determine which makes more sense. You can even get more complicated if you need to know the parent container subwindow, if you have subwindows in subwindows.

Regards

Rudolf
