Measurement widget

[RichardMoussopo]

I'd like the idea of placing the measurement widget inside the dijit/Dialog so that when the user clicks on the measure button in a toolbar then show the measurement. but the inconvenient here is that the dijit/Dialog is opened as modal popup.

is there a way to have a dijit/Dialog not in a modal mode so that we can still interact with the map?

here is what I mean:

Instead of using a dijit/Dialog, you should use a dojox/layout/FloatingPane. From the documentation

Unlike dijit.Dialog, FloatingPane is not modal and it is designed to allow multiple active windows.
