Docked and free floating control bars
Normally, control bars are docked (attached to the edges of the window). Moving the
window also moves docked control bars.
Control bars can also be floating. These do not follow movements of the window.
Floating control bar Docked control bar
You can hide a floating control bar either using the CONTROL BARS dialog box (described
above) or by clicking its CLOSE icon.
To make a control bar float, drag it away from the edge of the window either onto the
editing area or off the Web Designer Premium window.
To dock a control bar, drag it over:
• The edge of the window.
• Or the menu bar.
• Or another control bar.
A floating control bar has a double line outline while dragging. This changes to a single
line when in a docking position. If you want the control bar to remain floating, hold down
"Ctrl" while dragging.
Resizing a control bar
Move the pointer over the edge of the control bar. It changes to a double-headed arrow.
You can now drag the edge to resize the control bar.
Creating new control bars
To create a new control bar:
• Drag a button onto the editing area or off the window. This opens a new control bar
containing the button.
Or click NEW on the CONTROL BARS dialog box. This lets you create a new control bar and
allocate a name to it. The new control bar is empty. You can then drag buttons to it.
Moving buttons is described below.
