Now it compiles well, the problem is that the new toplevel window isn't 
visible, only the main popup window is visible.

To view the toplevel window I create a window_simulador object and then call 
the show_as_child method:

void window_simulador::show_as_child(window1 *obj_father)
{
 if(!obj_father)
 {
   this->error("NO FATHER"); // Custom error message
   this->on_button_close_released(); // Close the window to avoid problems
   return;
 }

 this->set_transient_for(*obj_father);

 this->raise();
}

If the father window is toplevel all work nice, and the new window is always 
visible and the father window is still active.
