If a user accidentally closes all the windows inside the application, is there a way to recover the session without re-launching the program again?

Thanks

You could write a Client Keystroke Script that opens your main navigation window.

So for example you could write a Client Keystroke Script for the shortcut sequence Control-n. So if a user closes all windows then he can press Control-n and the main navigation window opens.

Best,

Welcome, adding or using a menu item in the Client Menu Bar might be a better option. The menu item opens a window.

Open the designer and open up the Client Event Scripts and find the Menubar option in the display of event script types. I attached a screenshot.
