#9 Move Tool Windows to a Tabbed Document
Monday, January 12 2009
Tool Windows are great. But sometimes they contain too much information (like a search results window) to be displayed in the small portion you have allocated for the docked position of the window. This trick shows you how to move a Docked (or floating) window, up into your tabbed documents area.
Visual Studio Tip / Trick #009 English Transcription:
Today's VSTricks.com trick is a video repost of Sara Ford's original trick published on August 7th 2007.
Trick no. 9 shows how to use the tool window as a tabbed document. So this document interface you're probably familiar with opening your source code in, but did you also know that you can maximize your toolbars or toolwindows rather into this space. So I've got a Find results here with quite a number of items. In the last tip we showed how you can double click to open that as a new window, double click to put it back. But you can also right click and choose Tabbed Document which will then let you have your Find Results mixed in right with your Tabbed documents. Then if you right click on that again, you can move that back to a Dockable item and it will move back down to its originally docked location.
