IsWindow/IsWindow_ seems broken

Ran a few searches but didn't see anyone talking about IsWindow()/IsWindow_(), it seems like its broken to me...or possibly the documentation is.

From the documentation:

This function is bullet-proof and can be used with any value. If the 'Result' is not zero then the object is valid and initialized, else it returns zero. This is the correct way to ensure that a window is ready to use.

If it finds a valid window its 0 otherwise its non-0.

Code: Select all

hwnd = FindWindow_(#Null, "HTML Help")
Debug IsWindow(hwnd)

Anyone else having this problem here, are the docs just borked, or whats going on?

IsWindow() only works for windows opened with PureBasic - by using the window number, for instance OpenWindow(#Window, x, y, InnerWidth, InnerHeight, Title$ [, Flags [, ParentWindowID]]) with #Window being the window number.

Or there is the api function IsWindow_(hWnd).
