Docking Window Management

2.  Select and hold the left mouse button down on the title bar of the window you want to dock, this will grab the bar.

Drag the docking toolbar over the desired docking aid ( ssDockingAidUp  ) and release to position. The images below depict the docking aids and the approximate resulting placement.

 

       Main Window Docking Aids

       ssWindowDockMainWindow        

 

       Along with the above main window docking aids, there are current window docking aids that will allow placement with relation to the window that is under the cursor. The image below depicts the docking aids approximate resulting placement if we were hovering over the selection window.

 

 

ssWindowDockSelWindow

 

The Docking aid ( ssDockSelWin ) is used for placing the docking window with relation to the window under the cursor.

 

The center of the docking aid above is also a Docking aid ( ssDockSelTab ).  This will place the docking window as a tab within the window that is under the cursor. If that window is not a collection of tabs then this option will not be available.
