GUI I haven't done yet but here's the 'right-click' window on a part.

//motion lock start

[KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Engage Lock")]

public void Activate()

{

isRotationLock = true;

Events["Activate"].active = false;

Events["Deactivate"].active = true;

}

[KSPEvent(guiActive = true, guiName = "Disengage Lock", active = false)]

public void Deactivate()

{

isRotationLock = false;

Events["Activate"].active = true;

Events["Deactivate"].active = false;

}

//motion lock stop

A) See https://github.com/taraniselsu/TacLib/blob/master/Source/Window.cs and what evilC has done with it: https://github.com/evilC/TacLib/blob/master/Source/TacWindowTest.cs

Basically you use GUILayout.Window to tell Unity to display the window (http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GUILayout.Window.html).

But you need to do that within Unity's OnGUI() method or in a method called by KSP's RenderingManager (https://github.com/taraniselsu/TacLib/blob/master/Source/Window.cs#L76). The second way is recommended more, because you can properly hide your window when the user hides the UI (presses F2) and when the PauseMenu is displayed.

B & C) See https://github.com/evilC/TacLib/blob/master/Source/TacWindowTest.cs#L71.

Basically you mark a method with the KSPEvent attribute. That makes it show up when you right click a part. Inside that method, do something to show or hide your window. evilC's code is calling SetVisible(true) on the Window class which makes sure the window is added to KSP's post-draw queue.
