Returns a list of the names of windows that are currently open. Use the optional 
fileName parameter to only return windows that are based on the specified file. The 

window could be visible, hidden, or minimized. The order of the names in the list matches 
the current stacking order of the windows. The visible windows are listed first, then the 
minimized windows, then the hidden windows. If there are no databases or windows open, 
an empty string is returned.

Even if you close a file, it may remain open as a hidden file if the window of any other 

file is displaying data from that file. (For example, another window may be displaying 
related data from the file you attempted to close.) FileMaker Pro will close the file when 
you close all the dependent windows.

WindowNames returns 

 and 

 separated by a carriage return when 

those windows are currently open.

WindowNames(“contacts”) returns a list of windows that are based on the contacts 

database file.
