Window api appeared in CC1.6 but will it work if I copy its file to 1.58 version? I need that info for my newest idea

[Lyqyd]

Similar APIs have been used since well before 1.58, so unless it depends on CC1.6-specific features from the Java side of things, it should probably work fine.

It should work fine, though you might need to remove the code that checks if parent == term (the code bellow), since I don't think earlier versions of CC had term.current

	if parent == term then
		error( "term is not a recommended window parent, try term.current() instead", 2 )
	end

Is there any way to check which version of CC im working with?
And after analyzing window API i went like I can use OOP here Give me some time and you will see really powerful button API with PDA support and whatnot

indeed there is. os.version will do the trick. In Lua you can compare strings in some powerful ways

local version = os.version()
if version < "CraftOS 1.6" then
  --# Version before CC 1.6
elseif version > "CraftOS 1.6" then
  --# Version after CC 1.6
else
  --# ComputerCraft 1.6
end

you could also just check if certain APIs are nil too.
