But everything below that uses your naming convention.

I.e Close button: JailInformation_Close

The reason I would add the _Window is so I can, for example, close all those windows.

PHP Code:

for (temp.control : GraalControl.controls) {
  if (control.name.starts("JailInformation_")) {
    control.destroy();
  }
} 


without picking up JailInformation2_Window or whatever for a completely different window.

I see what you mean, though.

It's not really personal preference. If you name all your windows "Window", you're going to have problems.
