    You can use ActiveWindow method




    function isWindowTop(wnd)


    {


      var topWin = Sys.Desktop.ActiveWindow();


      return wnd.id == topWin.id;


    }



    Usage example:


    var wCalc = Sys.Process("CalcPlus").Window("SciCalc");


    Log.Message(isWindowTop(wCalc));



    Prints True if Calculator is top-level, False otherwise

    I think the index property shows you the order of enumeration, but I am not sure if it is actually sorted by z-order. Maybe someone else can answer that.

    Not anymore unfortunately... Microsoft got rid of the .ZOrder property a while back, to be replaced with methods BringToFront() and SendToBack(). You can use those to bring a particular window to front, but you cannot determine which window is currently toplevel.
