Depending upon how you have written this application,
XREGISTERED might give you this functionality directly.
If not, XREGISTERED will probably give you the information
you need to do it. But if you *still* have no joy, then
you can use WIDGET_INFO to see if the subGUI TLB is
realized (REALIZED keyword), or valid (VALID_ID keyword).
If so, then maximize rather than recreate.
Cheers,
David

I tried it with XREGISTERED and the SubGUI is brought to the front but
only if it is maximized somewhere in the background and not if it is
minimized. I also tried it with WIDGET_CONTROL,id,/SHOW and the same
happens. Maybe it exists an other command that maximizes a SubGUI?
Something like pressing the button in the windows taskbar.
Cheers,
Patrick
