I have a program what actively interacts with the user. In one part of my software, I want to know if a specific window is "on top". How do I find that out?

get(groot,'CurrentFigure')
However, I do not know at the moment whether CurrentFigure includes figures whose handle visibility is set off; handle visibility off is the default for uifigure()

Seems to work for me. The issue was that one of my windows was not produced by the figure() commend. CurrentFigure correctly finds which window is "on top" despite that. Thanks!
