Listers

The Listers object is a collection of all currently open Listers. It can be obtained via the DOpus.listers property.

Note: If you are looking for a window to use as the parent for a Dialog, you are probably looking in the wrong place. Scripts should not assume that DOpus.listers(0) or DOpus.listers.lastactive are the lister which launched them. Most scripting events provide you an object which can either create a pre-configured Dialog for you or which includes a SourceTab property or similar which can do the same. In almost all situations you should use those instead.

Property Name	Return Type	Description
<default value>	collection:Lister	Lets you enumerate the currently open Listers. Do not assume that DOpus.listers(0) is the window which launched your script. See the note near the top of the page.
lastactive	object:Lister	Returns a Lister object representing the most recently active Lister window. Do not assume that DOpus.listers.lastactive is the window which launched your script. See the note near the top of the page.
