Very nice example! This can be very usefull. For example in my case I've 4 graphs, now I'm plotting these underneath each. But I was also thinking of making a dialog for each graph, but then I thought... your screen of course get messed up with dialogs laying above each other. The user could grab and move each dialog then to a good position to view but that isn't very user friendly. This code solves that now.

Thanks! That's actually exactly how I came across the problem.  I wanted to be able to open a specified number of graphs decided at run-time, but needed them all showing at once.  Hopefully this will help you solve your situation too.
