Auto-hiding panels hide automatically when they lose focus.   Docked panels are aligned to one of the four sides of the frame and share the frame area with the editor area and other windows.  They are supposed to be used when you need the editors visible at the same time.  For example, having the structure view docked allows for browsing the file contents and viewing the text at the same time without switching between the windows.  Undocked panels when visible overlap the frame area and are supposed to be used as temporary tools.  For example, the Structure View can be used while editing the code to quickly navigate to a method or a field inside the current class.  After you press F4 to open the corresponding text location, the editor receives the focus and the Structure View pane hides automatically.  Sliding undocked windows are always auto-hidden.   Best regards, Eugene Belyaev, IntelliJ Software, http://www.intellij.com "Develop with pleasure" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Chad Stansbury Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 22:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Eap-list] Docked and Undocked... Hello all -   This is just to satisfy my curiosity, but I've not been able to figure out the difference between undocked panels and docked, auto-hide enabled panels...  Could someone fill me in?   Thanks, Chad
