| Historically in prior versions of Visual FoxPro, the Data Session window has always been referred to as the View window. Additionally, language used to control this window, such as HIDE WINDOW, ACTIVATE WINDOW, WONTOP(В ), also refers to this window as the View window. |
When you drag a dockable window to a Visual FoxPro desktop window boundary, the dockable window repositions itself against the chosen boundary. The state and location of docked windows persist from the last user session.
To dock windows programmatically and retrieve their dock states, see DOCK Command and ADOCKSTATE( ) Function.
You can change the dockable status of a dockable window.

Docking Modes
You can dock windows in three different modes:

Normal docking
Windows dock to a boundary of the Visual FoxPro desktop window.

Linked docking
Windows dock to each other and share a dockable window container.
-
Tabbed docking
Windows dock to each other and share the full window through the use of tabs.
You can use tabbed docking and linked docking together.
