Using the Net Bean API,
I created one module, want expose the Java Bean properties 
in the Property sheet. 

As there is properties popup menu for every node in the 
IDEs explorer window. 
Same thing I want to implement in my module.

In UI window, there is node tree hierarchy each node have 
properties popup menu. 
In short I explain here what I did?

I have the Java Bean and its corresponding Bean Info. 
Using the org.openide.nodes API I create one class 
OperationNode, which extends org.openide.nodes.BeanNode. 
I pass the instance of the bean (of which properties want 
to 
expose in the property sheet) to OperationNodes 
constructor. And using TopManager class,

TopManager.getDefault().getNodeOperation().showProperties
(instance  of OperationNode);

It shows the property sheet properly with the proper 
properties of Bean class. 

The OperationNode is like this;

public class OperationNode extends BeanNode
{
public OperationNode(Object AOperationBean) throws 
IntrospectionException
{ 
  super(AOperationBean);
  setName("Opeartion");
  setShortDescription("Operation");
  setDisplayName("Test");
}

protected void createProperties(Object bean, BeanInfo info)
{
   super.createProperties(bean,info);
}
}


My requirement is whenever the properties pop-up menu from 
my UI window clicked the property sheet windows should 
display/docked into the Explorer window of the S1S.  I 
know that this can be done by using Window menus Dock 
view into menu item.  But I dont  want for every property 
sheet window, user do the same steps. 

Is there any solution so that every property sheet window 
should be display into the Explorer Window by default?


Waiting for the response.
