Function: Returns true if floating windows are visible
Example:

Notes: You should hide floating windows before showing a dialog.window.AsyncDragMBS as Boolean
method, Window, MBS REALbasic Util Plugin (Window), class window, Plugin version: 8.1, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: Whether this window uses asyncron dragging.
Notes:
This window is marked so that the window server will drag the window automatically. Your application should not call DragWindow for this window, else it would confuse the heck out of the drag (it would fight with the window server for control). This attribute is ignored (async drag is not used) if your window is grouped with other windows in a window group that has the kWindowGroupAttrMoveTogether attribute. Available for all windows on Mac OS X 10.3 and later.
Seems to have no effect for RB 2008r2.

Notes:
This window can be made visible prior to user login. By default, in Mac OS X 10.5 and later no windows can be visible before a user logs into the system; this protects the user against certain types of malicious use of insecure applications. However, some software, such as input methods or other accessibility software, may need to deliberately make windows available prior to user login. Such software should add this window attribute to its windows. Available for all windows in Mac OS X 10.5 and later.

window.InvalidateShadowMBS
method, Window, MBS REALbasic MacOSX Plugin (MacOSX), class window, Plugin version: 8.7, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: This method causes a window's shadow to be recalculated.
Notes:
InvalidateShadowMBS is not typically used by applications. However, it may be useful for applications with customized window frames that change shape dynamically; in this case, after the application has drawn the new window shape, the window shadow must be recalculated to follow the new window shape.
This method causes the window shadow to be immediately recalculated and redrawn based on the current contents of the window's back buffer. For best performance and visual appearance, you should follow these steps when invalidating a window shadow: disable updates with DisableScreenUpdatesMBS, draw, flush, invalidate the shadow, and enable updates. For a compositing window, after invalidating any views that should be redrawn, you will need to explicitly draw and flush using HIWindowFlush, rather than waiting for the event loop to draw and flush the window, because you cannot disable updates or invalidate the window shadow if drawing is done via the event loop.
Requires Mac OS X 10.4 and should do nothing on 10.3.
