Docking and Undocking Views
A view is a container that is docked within a window.
For example, views that are docked in the Explorer are
the Filesystems, Project Default, and Runtime
tabbed panes. You can
remove a view from its present window and place it in another window.
To dock a view into another location:
- Activate the view.
- From the main window, choose
Window
Dock View Into.
Then choose one of the following menu items from the submenu:
- A window name. An example is Options.
- A window name and location. A location is
available for split frames only. An example is
Explorer
Right.
- New Single Frame. This menu item
removes the view from its current frame and
inserts it into a new separate single frame.
- New Multi-tab Frame. This menu item
removes the view from its current frame and
inserts it into a new multi-tab frame.
In this frame, you can switch between several
content panes that share the same space on the screen.
- New Split Frame. This menu item
removes the view from its current frame
and inserts it into a new frame that can be divided into two
or more resizable panes.
To undock a view:
- Activate the view.
- From the main window, choose Window
Undock View.
The IDE removes the view from its current window and inserts the view
into a new separate single frame.
