How to know when your GUI is visible (nothing over top of it)

I know I can use BitAnd(WinGetState(), 2) to see if a window is visible or hidden.  But is there an easy way to know if your window has anything over top of it?  The only thing I can think of is to use WinGetPos() to get the location and size of your window and then iterate over WinList() checking to make sure each one doesn't encroach on your window until you find your window (since WinList() is in Z order).  Is there a better way?

Skizmata,

Jos produced >this script a few years ago - it looks as if it could be what you are looking for. ;)

Thank you very much (for many things over the years not just this).  I think Jos's example will be very much help.  Unfortunately it seems he is doing it exactly the way I had planned to do it.  I had hoped I had overlooked some much simpler way.  But if Jos didn't find a easier way, and you don't know one, then this must be the right solution.

Thanks again!
