Dialog (MDialog) can be opened only once [message #1689047]

Hi all,
I've created a MDialog element in my Application.e4xmi. I open it with
the following code:

MDialog dialog = (MDialog) modelService.find("my.cool.dialog", application);
dialog.setToBeRendered(true);
dialog.setVisible(true);
dialog.setOnTop(true);
modelService.bringToTop(dialog);

The first thing I've encountered is that the dialog isn't focused, but
this is not the problem (anyway - how could I achieve this?). The
content of the dialog is shown rightly. Now I close the dialog via the
close button on the window bar. But if I want to open the dialog again,
the dialog window appears with no content. How could I get it right?

TIA,
Ralf.

MDialog is provisional API and not really useable - we'll make big
changes I would stay a way from then until Mars ships!

Please add yourself to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=460826

Ok, thanks for the answer. I've added myself to this Bug entry and
meanwhile I'll take a simple new MWindow...

Regards,
Ralf.
