How to show dialogs like ColorPickerDialog in the main window not as a separate window

I want to put the color picker dialog as part of the main window not as a dialog, (separate window).



The code below is shorter than the original one because I remove some parts to make it simple.



This is how it looks like.



enter image description here



I have removed the frames of the window to make it look like part of the main one, but when I click in the main window the other one minimizes. I would like it to be like a widget of the main window and not like a dialog window.



Thanks in advance.
