On PC Window Pallette is Modal/? Need Non-Modal

Question

I have a script that creates a window for processing. On the Mac side the window is Non Modal and is not connected to the window. On PC Windows 7 the Script UI Window is attached to the window parent. When you close the window you close the UI. How can I work around this?

I have done some searching and have seen some options involving Extenstions. I have more questions? Can i use anything that i have built so far in the extension? How do Adobe Bridge Extensions work? In some of the documentation for extensions it looks like you could choose

MODAL_DIALOG	A modal dialog is a window that grabs control, forcing the user to interact with the extension before they can continue to work in the host application.
MODELESS	A modeless dialog is a utility window similar to the welcome screens in ache product.
PANEL

so as an extension you could choose modeless. Unless you can choose this in javascript i might have to figure out how to create this as an extension. Does anyone have any ideas?

In the Object Model Viewer there is an option for Modal:

App.displayDialogs

Data Type: String

Adobe Bridge CS6 Object Model

The policy for the display of modal dialogs.

One of:

all (default): Modal dialogs should always be displayed.

none : Modal dialog should never be displayed.

error : Only dialogs that report an error to the user should be displayed.

But I have a feeling that my pallette would just not show if I chose none.
