Have you checked the liquidtool.cpp example? Tools can have their own dialog. Check the ToolData's   AllocSubDialog() method. Besides I think it's not a good idea to create your own nonmodal dialog from within a tool.

cheers,

well my problem is this:
my dialog is a generic manager to control some part of cinema4d...
for this reason i can't us AllocSubdialg.... my manager is not needed only for tool.

all the best
