Hi Carsten,
Thank you very much for answering me. I tried to give up on docking support and I've chosen the solution with UNO dialogs. My dialog with the tree control should be non-modal. If the current document window is the parent of my window , my window is not modal . (the user cannot change the focus window- document). If I set the parent to be the desktop , the two windows are totally independent. In this case I have to handle manually every event like closing the window, resizing it etc ( when the user closes the document window I need my small dialog to be closed too). Is there any other alternative that allows the two windows to be dependent, but also the focus to be changed?
