   Normally, a window index number of an cgWindow application. But, the selection
   can be a widget identifier, an object reference, or a window title, depending on
   which keywords are set. The cgWindow matching the selection is made the "current"
   cgWindow and the application is moved forward on the display.

Keywords

object: in, optional, type=boolean
    If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be an object reference.
title: in, optional, type=boolean
    If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be a window title. All
    matching is done in uppercase characters.
widgetid: in, optional, type=boolean
    If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be a widget identifier.

Examples

Used with query routine::
   IDL> wids = cgQuery(TITLE=titles, COUNT=count)
   IDL> index = Where(StrUpCase(titles) EQ 'PLOT WINDOW', tcnt)
   IDL> IF tcnt GT 0 THEN cgSet, wids[index]
   IDL> cgWindow, 'Oplot', thisData, /AddCmd
