Hello Peter,

the cause for asking for context is just this: dependent on where You
want a TopComponent to be used, it's usually managed differently. E.g.
Palette windows etc. are usually used in the context of editing a
specific file type.

If I understand Your question correctly, You want to use a properties
window like in the GUI builder? It seems, the properties window is just
hidden for other files, You can e.g. open it using "Windows -> IDE Tools
-> Properties".

For property sheet extension, this tutorial might help:

Kind regards
Peter

I am not sure why my reason is so important, but i just want to do these:

     How to maintain there is only one instance of a topcomponent window of a 
specific class?
     How to close all topcomponent of a specific class?

OK, my reason is:

when you open an editor, there is a property window, whatever how many editor 
you are opened, since there is only one active editor, so there is only one 
property window. If can't control only one instance of a topcomponent, how can 
we achieve this.

I am not sure why you think it is so important to ask for my reason to solve a specific 
technical question. If people ask "how to solve my for-loop error", do we 
really need to know his reason to write his for-loop? Or I am thinking i am being 
discriminated.

If people in here think i am disturbing, i can quit.

Thanks
 From Peter

More details needed, the context, the why, etc.
