Docking Window confusion

Greetings!

I have never understood how to make docking windows do what I want them to.

I now have two instances of VB.Net running. In the main one, I have the
main code window in the upper left, the task list window (now with 53 Build
Error tasks shown) in the lower left, a tabbed window with Solution
Explorer, Class View, Macro Explorer and Help Index tabs in the upper right,
and Properties window in the lower right. That is how I want things to be.

In the other instance of VB.Net, in which I am assembling a macro, I started
monkeying around with the windows. I closed the windows that were on the
right side. Now, when I open them again, I can dock them on the left and on
the top, but not on the right. Also, when it's docked on the left, it runs
from the top of the main window all the way down to the task list. I can
add other windows as tabs to my heart's content, but I can't split the new
window into two pieces.

So, I have two questions. How can I get the Properties window to dock on
the right, and how can I get another window (say, the Class View) to use the
lower half of the space the Properties window is using rather than being a
tab on the Properties window's containing window?

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Have a look what the panels can do for you.

(Build it up in layers)

And than also to the splitter, that looks so nice doing this.

I hope this helps,

Cor,

I'm not sure you understand my problem. I'm not talking about developing a
new application that features docking windows. I'm talking about
positioning the windows in the Visual Basic .Net IDE.

If that's what you're talking about also, I'd appreciate more specific
instructions.

Thanks again!

Hi Rob,

I see it, I was reading it totaly wrong,

I am strugling also always with your problems and did give it up,
for me the problem is not that big.

But there is a special newsgroup for using the VSnet IDE

microsoft.public.vsnet.ide

Maybe when you get not here your answer you can ask it there also.

Sorry I was reading it wrong.
