Panes are docked by default within a painter window, but some tasks may be easier if you float a pane. A floating pane can be moved outside the painter’s window or even outside the PowerBuilder window.
When you open another painter
If you have a floating pane in a painter and then open another
painter, the floating pane temporarily disappears. It reappears
when the original painter is selected.
To float a view in its own pane:
Select Float from the title bar’s pop-up menu.
To float a view in a stacked pane:
Select Float from the tab’s pop-up menu.
Select Dock from the title bar’s pop-up menu.
