You can dock a toolpane vertically or horizontally on the right, left, top or bottom edge of the work area or float it anywhere on top of the Developer window. You move a floating or docked toolpane by dragging it by its title bar.


When you drag a toolpane, two sets of toolpane icons appear to help you select a position for docking the toolpane or positioning multiple toolpanes. One set displays icons around the perimeter of the work area and docks the toolpane at the corresponding edge. The other set, which initially appears in the center of the work area, helps you layer multiple toolpanes in a single stack or position them adjacent to one other.


You dock a toolpane by dragging its title bar to an icon corresponding to the desired docking position. If you want to float the toolpane, drop it anywhere on the work area except on a toolpane icon.


The function of each toolpane icon is described next:

 

Toolpane Top Docks the toolpane at the top of the work area. For displaying adjacent toolpanes, positions the toolpane above the other docked or floating toolpane. 

 

Toolpane Bottom Docks the toolpane at the bottom of the work area. For displaying adjacent toolpanes, positions the toolpane below the other docked or floating toolpane. 

 

Toolpane Left Docks the toolpane on the left side of the work area. For displaying adjacent toolpanes, positions the toolpane to the left of the other docked or floating toolpane. 

 

Toolpane Right Docks the toolpane on the right side of the work area. For displaying adjacent toolpanes, positions the toolpane to the right of the other docked or floating toolpane. 

 

Toolpane Stack Stacks toolpanes on top of one another in layers. Tabs appear at the bottom of the toolpane area for displaying a toolpane in the stack.
