## 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.
