Hi Greg,

Almost true. If your Global Floating Window is the one that is opened by the application itself, it CAN reside by itself (In a default application, make Window1 a Global Floating Window).

But isn't that the same thing I said? In your case, you just open your Global Floating Window first, so you don't need to hide any windows first.

When I need a Global Floating Window that can "survive" a pre-existing document window's closing, I loop through and store references to any visible non-floaters, show the Global Floating Window, then re-show the hidden windows.

In your case, there simply aren't yet any windows open that can assume "ownership" of the Global Floating Window. Or are you saying something else?

Best wishes,

Steve
