New View

Hello,
 
I am trying to create a new view in which I want to show my model stored
in XML file, now this same model I will be showing in project tree (but
it does not have source file associated with it). When this new view is
shown (which is essentially a UML diagram), I want to show corresponding
properties and documentation with that. Since these properties and
documentation views are specific for my UML diagram view, I do not want
to show it when some other view is shown.
 
I have two questions - 
 
1.	While showing my view, I am activating the window group (which
includes the documentation view), and opening it. Now the documentation
view opens up but it appears as a editor view which can be docked with
the diagram view. How do I stop it from being docked like that. I notice
that when you have a class file open in editor view, I cannot drag and
drop the explorer view onto that. Also how do I get the properties view
to show up - which could be same as the properties we see for project
tree.
 
2.	When I show my diagram view, I want to show properties for the
components on diagram in properties view. How can I get that working? I
notice that when I open form designer, I can see properties for
components on that - similarly from the inspector view, when I select
things - their properties are displayed in properties view. I can get
the selection change event on the diagram view, but how do I couple it
to the properties?
 
Thanks,
