Listing all top-level widgets [message #18638]

Is anyone aware of any way to generate a list of all the currently realized
top-level widgets (or better still all the realized modal top-level widgets
but getting that once provided with a list of all tlb's is easy)?

The only ways I can think of are:
1)
for j =0l, largest_long do begin
if (widget_info(j,/valid)) then begin
if (widget_info(j, /parent) eq 0 and widget_info(j,/modal)) then$
imodal = 1
endif
endif
endfor

Which would take forever to run

2) Require that any modal top-level base deposit it's ID in a common block
3) Dig out where the information is stored within xmanager (and hope that
there are no modal widgets that don't use xmanager

Or maybe there's a more elegant solution altogether to this problem, namely:
I have a menu that pops up when a file search fails, and it is possible that
the routine that called the file search was triggered from a modal menu, but
it's about half-a-dozen calls away so passing a group-leader ID down the
calling chain isn't really practical.
