Rather than creating another window in my project I created a container that becomes visible. This technique works find except now the end user has requested the container be movable. Is there a way I can make the container movable by the end user?

Yes, you should be able to work with the code from the draggable component example I posted here:

[viewtopic.php?p=4877#p4877](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4877#p4877)

I would put a header across the container, and put the mouseMotion event code from that example into the header, but have it move its parent (the entire container).
