Find all windows pertaining to a given ui element subclass, How do I? Options

[NEMO7538]

For instance, I'd like to find all playlist renderers windows given this GUID
ui_element_subclass_playlist_renderers = { 0x3c4c68a0, 0xfc5, 0x400a, { 0xa3, 0x4a, 0x2e, 0x3a, 0xae, 0x6e, 0x90, 0x76 } })

Thanks for your support

As far as I know that is not possible. What are you trying to achieve? Perhaps there is another way.

I'm just trying to find a playlist renderer window, invoke request_activation to make it visible (if for instance it is in a tab) and set focus to that window.

I'm trying to achieve the same thing. Have you found a work-around for this?

(Actually I'm trying to show a certain item on a certain playlist)

kerpondile: Have you tried playlist_manager::playlist_ensure_visible?

I have, and originally I thought that would do the trick. However, it does not
1) change the active playlist nor does it (easily fixable by playlist_manager::set_active_playlist)
2) make the ui component visible (for example when the playlist is in a tab that is not currently selected)
3) set focus to the playlist ui element

I have yet to determine how to fix points (2) and (3).

Basically what I want to achieve is the same thing that happens when you double click the status bar and get the currently playing song, but obviously I want to choose what playlist and item to focus.

[NEMO7538]

for 2) & 3) I would have used request_activation but you have to find a pointer to (ui__element__instance) a playlist renderer (there could be several), which was the purpose of my question.
