ApplicationWindow and Window [message #461265]

Greetings,

I was wondering if there was a way to create a new Window that would not
leave the bounds of an ApplicationWindow. Additionally, if the new Window
is minimized then I would like it to display its "icon" on the bottom of
the ApplicationWindow "display area". Basically, I was wondering if there
was a way to mimic the JDesktopPane in SWT.

Thanks.

This sounds similar to MDI behaviour. There is not an swt equivalent of
this.

I've written non-native DesktopFrame/InternalShell widgets for SWT which
may be useful until there's a cross-platform MDI implementation. See
