May I ask why you need to open a window that doesn't require any mouse or keyboard input?

You could open a second for the stuff you want to use and the first would (probably) lose its focus.

Remember it's always up to the operating system which window has focus.

Right now, I have a full operative application that works on console. So the plan is to show a little of additional information outside the command console, in order to make more easy to understand, but without changing the current workflow too much. I know that I can get the Console handler and after creating the new Window, call the SO and make it gain focus again, but if there is a way to avoid doing it, I want to know.
Thanks for the quickly answer.
