Is it possible to check if a subpatcher is opened or closed?

I am looking for a solution similar to the 'active'-object which will tell when a patcher window is active or not, but then if it is open or not.

And, related question: is it possible to remotely open or close a subpatcher?

Should I look into javascript-scripting, is it possible with that?

Is it possible to check if a subpatcher is opened or closed?

I don't know if this is what you're after, but I do this with [js] for 

abstractions (it works with [patcher] too):

    outlet (0,this.patcher.wind.visible);

function visible ()
{

Patrick, your [js] solution works, however, you still need to bang it get that 'statusreport' and I would like to get a signal when a subpatcher is opened (it doesn't matter if it's active then or not)

and about opening the subpatch remotely: yeah, of course that should be done with [thispatcher] and [front], thanks for reminding me,

Rabadja, thanks for the patch, that shows you can use [thispatcher] to open a subpatcher, but the first question is indeed a bit different.

You can cover this case with the active object, as this will be 

activeted by a double click and then be in front, but use a [sel 1] to 

gate the nonactive notification. In addition with closebang you can 

monitor if it has been closed again... As you usually have it always 

once in front if you open it, these two objects should be suffcient to

track the state...
