• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Open a (child) window in Prepar3D's mainwindow with simconnect

Is there any simconnect command I can use to open/close a child window in Prepar3D's main window?

I have a running airplane in Prepar3Dv4 that has some windows that I can undock.

From my client software, I need to be able to open/close these windows.

I have a list of all the Handles and Window captions of these windows.

But, I can't find any way to use Simconnect to open/close them.

Simconnect or any other solution ideas are welcomed

May be it late, but ...

AFAIK in Simconnect no functions for that.

any other solution ideas are welcomed.
You can try send command "Undock Window" directly to needed window:

SendMessage(hWindow, WM_COMMAND, 1025, 0); // WPARAM = 1025 for P3Dv3

If in Prepar3Dv4 value for WPARAM changed, then find new it by SpyXX or something.
