Check if a palette is open

[carlos_m_gil_p]

Hello how are you?
I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any variable, in which I can check if a palette is open.
Or if anyone knows a way to do it.
For example, I want to check if the visual styles manager palette is open.
If it is open, do nothing.
If it is closed, let him open it.

And so check the palettes that I need.
Properties
Layer properties manager
blocks
Among other.

Thank you.

No need to check if it's open or not (command "_VISUALSTYLES") & (command "_VISUALSTYLESCLOSE")

Block Palette : (command "_BLOCKSPALETTE") & (command "_BLOCKSPALETTECLOSE")

Properties Palette : (command "_PROPERTIES") & (command "_PROPERTIESCLOSE")

Layers Palette : (command "_LAYER") & (command "_LAYERCLOSE")

For Layer Properties Manager:

A few more that was not listed via command SET "?" "*STATE":

OPMSTATE - Properties
ADCSTATE - Design Center
TPSTATE - Tool Palettes Window
SSMSTATE - Sheet Set Manager
MSMSTATE - Markup Set Manager
QCSTATE - QuicCalc

There may yet be others.

Hello guys, how have you been?
Thanks a lot for your help.

If I see that not all of them are found, so I took from each of you the one that does work.

Now I have a question with the block palette command.
When I enter the command into autocad, it works fine and opens the calculator palette.
But when I run it from lisp, it opens another calculator and I don't understand why.
Could someone tell me what is wrong?

These are the ones it shows me in the command bar.

  '_quickcalc

  QUICKCALC

This is how I am applying it in Lisp.

 (vl-cmdf "_.quickcalc")

And whatever you place, it does not open the palette, but the direct calculator.

Thank you.

try this:

(vla-Sendcommand(vla-Get-ActiveDocument(vlax-Get-Acad-Object))"_.QUICKCALC\n")

Hello @paullimapa , thank you very much, it worked this way.

It's strange that it didn't work with command or vl-cmdf.

Thank you all for the collaboration provided
