I am trying to achieve something like
a floating property window. This should
always be on top of its parent shell,
but of course not on top of other windows.
What is the recommended style of doing this
with SWT?
I tried to create a shell with given parent,
but this seems to have no effect.

No, this doesn't do the trick.
SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL displays the shell, but
no other window can be activated (that's what
modal means in general). SWT.SYSTEM_MODAL
doesn't let the user select a different window
of any other app. I therefore want a modeless
window/dialog.
SWT.ON_TOP almost does the trick, but the
window is on top of all windows - windows other
than the parent should hide the floating propery
window.
I don't see any effect on SWT.PRIMARY_MODAL (at
least not on Windows).
Any other ideas?
Thanks
