Forums Scripts & Popups $wid - What for?

Can anybody explain me a possible use for the identifier $wid?

I already know that it returns the window's id, but what's the use of that? Is it possible to return the name of the window using this id?

Your help is appreciated

From a programming perspective, every window an an associated ID that goes with it. By passing this id to the program, you cna than modify properties of the window, such as titlebar, postiion, size, etc. I can really only see it being used for DLLs, such as the ones that modify dialog like MDX, or kTools.

I don't think $window(<window>).wid can be of any use to a dll because I don't think it represents anything, fex a handle. The handle of the window is returned by $window(<window>).hwnd

Most probably, WID is just a way to uniquely identify a window in scripts. Window names aren't suitable for that because you can have two or more windows of the same name.
