WindowId operates on ids that X gives to windows, these are very big
random numbers that you don't usually know. You only want to execute
WindowId on constructed ids, like $0, $w or $[my_previously_stored_id]
and not on some known in advance value.
So WindowId will not do you good here. What you need is the Next command.
DestroyFunc FuncWindowTest
AddToFunc FuncWindowTest
+ I Focus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 50 50
Next ("Mozila*") FuncWindowTest
You may want to specify some options for Next, like:
Next (Mozilla, !Iconic) FuncWindowTest
Next (AllowFocus) Focus
Next (XTerm, !Shaded) WindowShade
If you really want to see how WindowId may be useful here is an obfuscated
and redundant way of doing the same as the above:
DestroyFunc FuncWindowTest
AddToFunc FuncWindowTest
+ I WindowId $0 Focus
+ I WindowId $0 Raise
+ I WindowId $0 WarpToWindow 50 50
Next ("Mozila*") FuncWindowTest $w # it should be $$w to be sure
In your specific case you may reuse one existing function, but I don't
want to suggest this (since this function may be changed), write your own.
