Description

Panes are docked by default within a painter window. But a particular task may be easier if you float a pane. A floating pane can be moved outside the painter's frame window or even outside PowerBuilder's frame window.

You can float and dock panes using the title bar or while moving a pane.

• To float a docked pane:

• Select Float from the title bar's popup menu.
  or
  While moving the pane, press shift or ctrl.

When you open another painter  If you have a floating pane in a painter and then open another painter, the floating pane temporarily disappears. It will reappear when the original painter is selected.

• To dock a floating pane:

• Select Dock from the title bar's popup menu.
  or
  While moving the pane, press shift or ctrl.
