   Hi,
   in general, yes, but I have an issue whose cause I have not yet found.
   Another problem(?) is how such a dialog would be handled after a restart of Npp.
   I hope to find some time over the Christmas holidays to look into this in more detail.

   I see. I was going to play around with it, but it seems your 'WinDialog_tests_\test_npp_downloader.py' script is different than the one I have in my clone of the repo.

   Cheers.

   Ah, yes - the dockable dialog feature hasn't been made public yet. I'll publish another branch with this experiment after work (3-4h) today.

   See https://github.com/Ekopalypse/NppPythonScripts/tree/dockable_dialog_experiment

   from Npp import console
   
   from WinDialog import DockableDialog, Button
   
   class MyDialog(DockableDialog):
       def __init__(self, title='Dockable Dialog Test'):
           super().__init__(title=title)
   
           self.pointsize = 11
           self.typeface = 'Segoe UI'
   
           self.btn1 = Button('Button1', (40, 11), (0, 0))
           self.btn2 = Button('Button2', (40, 11), (40, 0))
   
           self.btn1.onClick = self.on_click1
           self.btn2.onClick = self.on_click2
           
   
       def on_click1(self):
           print("button 1 pressed")
   
       def on_click2(self):
           print("button 2 pressed")
   
   
   
   console.show()
   dlg = MyDialog()
   dlg.show()

   Just to be clear: I haven't really tested it, but I haven't had any major problems with it.

   With Rust and CreateDialogIndirectParamW it works, so it looks like it's not a problem with this API function ... hmm ...
