Description

Use the windowID property to pass to an external that needs to manipulate the window.

The window ID is provided by the operating system, and is unique for each window.

Some externals need to manipulate the contents of a stack window directly, and do so by referencing the ID. Such externals require you to pass the ID when you use the external.
