Description

Creates a blank docking user window that is similar to the other docking windows found in Shogun Post. This command is the starting point for all custom GUI work inside of Shogun Post.

The window name must not match the window name of any other docking window (user or native), or the command will fail.

The return value is the unique ID of the user window. Save this ID, as it will be used in many of the other custom GUI commands.
