front-window

Arguments: parent-stream &key owned-p states for-focus

parent-stream may be either a window or the screen.

If owned-p is nil (the default), returns the frontmost child window of parent-stream, if any, and otherwise returns nil.

If owned-p is true, returns the frontmost owned window of parent-stream that is not also a child window of parent-stream, if any, and otherwise returns nil.

If states is non-nil, then it should be a list of window state symbols, and windows whose state is not in this list are skipped. If nil (the default), then these windows are not skipped. Valid symbols for this list are :normal, :shrunk, :icon, and :maximized. See state.

If for-focus is true, then windows whose events are currently disabled (see enable-events) are skipped, and "static" control windows are skipped as well. ("Static" control windows include static-text-pane, static-picture-pane, and group-box-pane.) If nil (the default), then these windows are not skipped. Such windows do not handle any keyboard events, so passing this argument as true may be useful for finding a window to move the keyboard focus to by calling set-focus.
