Hi,
I think you confused setting the value of the window title with giving it
an object name. You can see this if you print the value of main_win.
What you want to do is give it an explicit object name, and then check for
that object name when wanting to delete or reshow it:
WINDOW_NAME = "TEST"
def ui():
main_win = cmds.window(WINDOW_NAME, title = "TEST", width = 600,
height = 600)
...
def main():
if cmds.window(WINDOW_NAME, exists = True):
cmds.deleteUI(WINDOW_NAME)
print "The application is already opened!"
else:
ui()
If you happen to call ui() multiple times though, in this example, it will
end up creating new windows with incremented names. Also, if someone else
in another app happened to use that same name and a window already existed,
your check would fail to match the right window. What you would have to do
is save main_win to a persistent state (either a class or a global) and
then check for that.
