How to remain the pop-up window by pyrevit.forms.SelectFromList?

I can’t recall any pyRevit windows out of the box being modeless. What I’m wortking on currently has a modeless window but with a slightly different purpose, however you might use it as a starting point:

                      if context.is_valid():
                          message = "Showing View Range of [{}]".format(context.source_plan_view.Name)
                      elif not isinstance(context.active_view, DB.View3D):
                          message = "Please activate a 3D View!"
                      elif not isinstance(context.source_plan_view, DB.ViewPlan):
                          message = "Please select a Plan View in the Project Browser!"
                      self.message = message
                  except:
                      print(traceback.format_exc())
          
          class MainWindow(forms.WPFWindow):
              def __init__(self):
                  forms.WPFWindow.__init__(self, "MainWindow.xaml")
                  self.Closed += self.window_closed
                  subscribe()
                  server.add_server()
          
          
              def window_closed(self, sender, args):
                  server.remove_server()
                  refresh_event.Raise()

                          continue
                      solid_mesh = revit.dc3dserver.Mesh.from_solid(doc, geo)
                      if not solid_mesh:
                          continue
                      mesh.append(solid_mesh)
          
                  self.server.meshes = mesh
                  uidoc.RefreshActiveView()
          
          ui = UI("ui.xaml")
          ui.show(modal=False)

As you can see, the included WPFWIndow is somewhat prepared for being shown in modeless form, but needs extra caution and efforts, if you want to interact with the Revit API in that context.
