I don't know about the 'anchored' part, but you can choose where
the separate calendar window opens up by position()ing it before
show()ing it.
As shown in the demo, I'm choosing where the child window opens;
I'm locking it to the upper right of the parent window, just by
specifying the x/y position of the window before opening it.
In your final app, you would likely have a 'calendar open' button
the user presses, and you can use the Fl::event_x_root() and
Fl::event_y_root() to get the user's mouse position at the time
of the event, and position() your calendar window there before
show()ing it, so that it opens where the user's mouse is.
The calendar window will still be separate though; it won't
be 'anchored' to the parent window if it's moved.
If you want it to track, that might involve some custom code
on your part to define that behavior.
Or, you may want to set things up so that if the user moves off
the calendar window, it hide()s automatically, similar to the
way a popup menu disappears if you move off of it. In such a case
you might even want to make the calendar window borderless
(eg. border(0)) so that there's no window manager decorations
to confuse the user.
On the airline sites I visted (cited previously), the calendar
windows open up as a separate window, with window manager decorations
intact. Or so is the case on my linux machine with Firefox, anyway.
