How to get whether the Find/Change window is visible or hidden in ExtendScript

Slightly modified.

#targetengine "session"

var menuActionName = "$ID/EditMenu_FindChange";

var myScriptUI = new Window("""palette{text:"test", 
grp:Group{orientation:"column", 
cStyle:StaticText{characters:32, justify:"left"}, 
pStyle:StaticText{characters:32, justify:"left"}, 
doBtn:Button{text:"do"}
}
}""");

myScriptUI.onClose = function(){
    findChangeEventListener.remove();
    myScriptUI.grp.doBtn.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
    myScriptUI.grp.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
    myScriptUI.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
}

var grp = myScriptUI.grp;
var doBtn = grp.doBtn;

doBtn.onClick = doSomethingFunc;

grp.addEventListener("mouseup", function(){
    doBtn.visible = true;
    getAppliedStyles();
});

myScriptUI.addEventListener("blur", function(){
    doBtn.visible = false;
    getAppliedStyles();
});

var findChangeEventListener = app.menuActions.itemByName(menuActionName).addEventListener("afterInvoke", getAppliedStyles);

myScriptUI.show();

function getAppliedStyles(){
    var GrepPref = app.findGrepPreferences;
    grp.cStyle.text = GrepPref.appliedCharacterStyle;
    grp.pStyle.text = GrepPref.appliedParagraphStyle;
    }
    
function doSomethingFunc(){
    alert("do something");
}

Requirement

• When a Find/Change window is opened, closed, or the ScriptUI is focused or unfocused, the StaticText of the ScriptUI reflects the style name.
• The "do" button cannot be clicked until the ScriptUI is activated once.

Issues

• The "done" button in the Find/Change window does not respond.
• The "do" button does not appear when the title bar of ScriptUI is clicked.

Hi @ajabon grinsmith , Is the check for the find and change dialog part of a larger script? What happens when you confirm that the dialog is open?

You can also probably do something like this (although this will require to toggle the Find window at least once):

-Have a text frame with text tool active

-Invoke the Find/Change menu

-Invoke a keystroke (a single key, for example)

-Check your frame contents: it won't change if you've just opened the Find window (the keystroke will go into the Find what field) and vice versa.
