You could create a Global reference variable to access the window eg.
UpdateWindow &WINDOW
(Reference variables can cross threads)
Then on the opening of the window you want to point to assign to
variable to it
UpdateWindow &= FormWindow
if FormWindow was the name of the window
then you can access the controls on that window from anywhere by
prefixing them with the reference variable and a dollar sign eg.
UpdateWindow$?Closebutton{PROP:Enabled} = TRUE
