DocumentCache Object
It is very important to understand the DocumentCache object when using the Visual
Tools Object Model. Although the visual tools enable you to open dozens of files at
once, only the active document is kept in memory. When a document becomes
inactive, that is, when the user switches to a different document in the Document tab,
the previously active document is cached to conserve resources.
Every open document has an element in the

Index
The JScript example below shows how to loop through the array:
var app = Application;
for (idx = 0; idx < app.DocumentCount; idx++) {
Here's the same code in VBScript:
set app = Application
for idx = 0 to app.DocumentCount - 1
sFile = app.DocumentCache(idx).Filename
next
If you know the filename of an open document, you can retrieve its index by using the
Application.GetTabIndexForFile
var app = Application;
idx = app.GetTabIndexForFile('c:\docs\file.htm');
To access more information about a cached document, you must first make it the
active document and refer to it using the Application object's ActiveDocument
property. To do this, set the
cached document.
