I still haven't found solution of my problem. These objects for creating dialog boxes are great. But only for modal dialogs. With Palette which inherits from ModelessBase it's not.

I've try to use pointers, but ArchiCAD crashes.
Did anyone wrote plugin which uses palette as main window and make it working?? Main problem is that I wrote a lot of code which uses object oriented dialog manager. It works fine with DG::ModalDialog, but with DG::Palette don't, because Palette is destroyed right after it was created... Please help...
GDLInterface* interfacePalette = new GDLInterface;You also need to make sure the pointer is a global variable (initialised to 0), perhaps a static member variable of the GDLInterface class, and keep the constructor private so you get an instance with something like
GDLInterface* interfacePalette = GDLInterface::getInstance();Finally, make sure ArchiCAD knows your add-on has to remain loaded (see ACAPI_KeepInMemory) and the instance is deleted before the add-on shuts down.
