General

All windows dock on one of four (4) borders of the associated window the cursor is hovered over or adjacent to an existing window already on the form. There are three (3) ways to dock a window.

Docking

  • Select a feature or option from the Setup form. A window will be created either in the container window or on the desktop.
  • Left-Click on the subject window's Title Bar and drag it over the DDUtil form.
  • A four (4) pointed diamond will appear showing which side of the window the dock will be applied to.
  • Choose the appropriate side of the container window or an existing window release the left mouse button.
  • Pinned → the window is open on the container form.
    • Do nothing, this is the default mode when a window is docked.
  • Un-Pinned → the window is collasped to one of the margins.
    • On the title bar (right end) press the Pin symbol.
    • The window will collaspe to the docked margin.
  • Tabbed → the window is docked internally to one of the existing windows.
    • There is also a button in the middle of the docking diamond. If this button is selected the form will be a tabbed window including the window where the docking diamond was located.
    • The first window won't have a tab until a second window is docked on top of it.

Moving

Any window can be moved from it's current position to the desktop or to any other position in the DDUtil container window.

Note! The window to be moved must be Un-Pinned before it can be moved.
  • Left-Click on the subject window's Title Bar and drag it to the new position.
