Thanks for the proposed solution Martin. Unfortunately I thought it would be a good idea to have the application integrated as much as possible in the MapGuide viewer. As a result all the actions are started from within the toolbar (to have one look and feel) with invoke URL commands and showed in the taskpane. This might not have been a good idea after all ...
As the application contains a lot of code and I will not have the time to completely rewrite it, I hope there is a workaround possible to overcome this.
