Floating and docking views

Panes are docked by default within a painter window, but some
tasks may be easier if you float a pane. A floating pane can be
moved outside the painter’s window or even outside the PowerBuilder
window.

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
reappears when the original painter is selected.

To float a view in its own pane

Select Float from the title bar’s pop-up menu.

To float a view in a stacked pane

Select Float from the tab’s pop-up menu.

To dock a floating view

Select Dock from the title bar’s pop-up menu.
