The windows and toolbars of the Cicode Editor can be docked or free floating within the editing and debugging environment.
Toolbars
Toolbars are docked by default within the toolbar area at the top of the Cicode Editor.
To show/hide a toolbar, right-click within the toolbar area and make a selection from the menu that appears.
Windows
Windows are docked by default in the document display area of the Cicode Editor (beneath the toolbar).
-
Docked windows are those that fit within the Cicode Editor display area by docking (attaching) themselves to an internal edge of the display area. Docked windows cannot be resized manually, and will share the display space with the Editor toolbars and other docked windows.
-
Floating windows are those that are not docked to the editor, nor are necessarily constrained by the editor boundaries. Floating windows can be resized manually, and are subject to layering (Z-order), in which they can be partly or wholly obscured by another window.
Windows and toolbars can be moved about in the Cicode Editor environment by clicking and dragging the titlebar of a window. Docking behaviour is by default, and can be overridden by holding down the CTRL key during the drag-and-drop to force the window or bar to be free floating.
The position of the mouse during the drop action determines which side the window or toolbar docks to. Docking outlines of the window or toolbar are displayed with gray lines during the drag action to indicate the potential docked position.
