Are you programming in Windows with Win32Lib?  If so, then a simple example
can be found below; if not, I apologize (but, if not win32lib then please
be more specific).

The answer to your question is: use 'openWindow'...

include win32lib.ew

constant
  -- define windows
  Win = create( Window, "Main Window", 0, Default, Default, 300, 200, 0 ),
  SubWin1 = create( Window, "Window 1", Win,
                    Default, Default, 200, 100, 0 ),
  SubWin2 = create( Window, "Window 2", Win,
                    Default, Default, 200, 100, 0 ),

  -- define Win menus
  FileWin = create( Menu, "&File", Win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    ExitFile = create( MenuItem, "E&xit", FileWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
  WindowWin = create( Menu, "&Window", Win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    Win1Window = create( MenuItem, "Window &1", WindowWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    Win2Window = create( MenuItem, "Window &2", WindowWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),

  -- define SubWin menus
  FileSubWin1 = create( Menu, "&File", SubWin1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    CloseSub1 = create( MenuItem, "&Close", FileSubWin1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
  FileSubWin2 = create( Menu, "&File", SubWin2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
    CloseSub2 = create( MenuItem, "&Close", FileSubWin2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
