Hiding a Panel

You can hide or show a panel if it has hide buttons. If the hide buttons are not visible on a panel, modify the panel properties so that the hide buttons are visible.

Hide buttons are at the either end of a panel. The hide buttons contain an optional arrow icon. The below figure shows the hide buttons.

To hide a panel, click one of the hide buttons. The panel shrinks in the direction of the arrow on the hide button. The hide button at the other end of the panel remains visible.

To show a hidden panel again, click the visible hide button. The panel expands in the direction of the arrow on the hide button.

You can set a panel to autohide so that the panel hides automatically when the mouse is not pointing to the panel. The panel reappears when you point to the part of the screen where the panel resides.
