Open dockable window?

Question

How do you get a hook to a dockable window so you can open/close it from other places in the application?

Thanks!

Jerry, you cannot do it via API.

There's a pretty good walkthrough here that includes a toggle command to open/close a dockable window:

The problem I'm having is trying to load info into my controls on the window when it is opened.  The load event only seems to work when the window is first created, not everytime it opens, like a form.

This example is for ArcGIS Desktop, i.e. ArcMap/ArcCatalog; not ArcGIS Explorer Desktop.
