powerbuilder display only windows

we have two windows w_test1 and w_test2 (w_test1 is a main and w_test2 is a response window). w_test1 has a push button on (lets call it pb_continue). both windows have a datawindow inside them (dw_1)

what we want to do is the following
==============================

1) open w_test1 and w_test2 simultanesouly. w_test1 will receive focus while w_test2 will be a display only window. (it will be used as background for w_test1).

2) w_test2 will receive focus when pb_continue button will be pressed.

how can we do it?

we want to avoid using opensheet command.

any specific reason for w_test2 as response window?

change w_test2 as main and when user clicks on that button write w_test2.bringtotop = TRUE

the reason that we prefer to have w_test2 as response is that its main and user clickes by mistake in a area outside it its minimized.
how can we open anyway both windows in the beginning with focus only in w_test1?

solution is working perfectly with one side-effect however. if messages are going to be displayed (thru messagebox statements or thru operating system/sql-server) sometimes they do appear behind w_test2 (at least a part of them) can we do something about it?
