Description

The ShowARWindow shows or hides the specified built in window. By default all of the esriARWindows are closed. Before using the ShowARWindow method make one or all of the following checks:

• check that the current document was published with permission to open a particular window using the HasDocumentPermission method.
• if closing a modeless window check that is actually open using the ARWindowVisible property.

A modal window requires a response from the user, before they can interact with another part of the application. A modeless window will stay on the screen, available for use, but allow the user to interact with other parts of the application. When the LoadDocument or ReloadDocument methods are used, any modeless windows will be automatically closed.
