Would you please tell me what type of docking you are using?
Ordinary drag-dock (using my EasyDock... ;-)
Ok.
I am using anchor docking without any problems with docking and
undocking windows (on Linux as well as on Win32).
Does this mean that anchor docking now allows for drag-dock?
Seems so. At least I can grap a docked window (e.g. Messages) and move
it to another part of the main window or make it float :)
I have also tried easy docking on Win32 at first, but while docking
and undocking itself worked it had some other troubles (I don't say
that anchor docking has no problems, but they are less troublesome ^^).
The EasyDockTree was the first really working implementation of an
dockmanager in Lazarus. It took years to convince the developers of
providing the required support in the LCL, and perhaps some more years
to fix the remaining problems. [Today I noticed that the docksites are
not initialized properly, a manual resize of the parent is required for
that]. Breaking drag-dock instead seems to be a matter of only a few
weeks. OTOH this demonstrates that docking is almost unused, probably
due to the problems arising all the time.
Anchor docking seems to work better than EasyDockTree currently. I
tested that one at first, but I had problems to get the "windows" to the
positions I wanted them and to keep them there (especially when saving
and reloading a layout). With anchor docking I haven't experienced that
problem.
But the following problem appeared:
I had docked the object inspector into the docked code explorer (thus
creating a page control containing the two) and saved that layout. I
then restarted the IDE which used the default layout (worked) and then
loaded my saved layout. I then got a "loop detected" error somewhere
when creating the object inspector, the code explorer or the area of the
page control (I don't know the reason exactly, cause I haven't done
extensive tests on this topic yet).
Regards,
Sven
