Hi,

you can try following:

IWDWindowInfo _windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("<WINDOW_NAME>");
IWDWindowManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager();
IWDWindow _window = manager.createWindow(_windowInfo, true);
((IWindow)_window).setWindowPositionControl( "<CONTROL_ID>" );

<CONTROL_ID> - "<COMPONENT_ID>.<VIEW_NAME>.<UI_CONTROL_ID>" (for example "PFCBCNPF.POSearchCriteriaCV.SearchButton")

To get it you need to view HTML sources of your generated view in browser, for example "<a ... id="PFCBCNPF.POSearchCriteriaCV.SearchButton"...>"

pay attention that it is NOT documented feature (setWindowPositionControl method) and you are using it at your own risk.

Hi Rokosa

Type cast the IWDWindow object to IWindow and try.

you will be getting setWindowPositionControl method.

ex: IWDWindow iwdWindow= ...

((IWindow) iwdWindow).setWindowPositionControl(..)

That is the trick: you cast not to IWDWindow but to IWindow.
