I have a design question: How could I auto-select a new created
business object reprensentation in my GUI?

My application is divided into the business model and UI and I use the
command pattern. I can describe my problem with an IDE since it is the
same thing.

Imagine I create a new code file within a project. There may be a
dialog where the user has to specify the file name. When the user then
clicks on Ok the new file is created and it is added to the project
somehow. Now there is a project tree view in the GUI and within this
view a new node gets visible, representing the new file. Then the
question comes up: How can this node gets selected automatically?

I hate pop-up windows. What about first creating a new slot in the tree
focusing on it and only then giving it a name?

When creating a new file under Microsoft Explorer, I usually copy a file
(Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V), then rename it, then change the contents.
