12.2 CHANGING WINDOW DATA AND PROPERTIES
MPLAB IDE windows have some or all of the listed properties, depending on the type
and use of the window.
12.2.1 Changing Window Data – Edit-in-Place or Choose from List
MPLAB IDE window data may be edited as described below. If you cannot edit the data,
then this information is not available for you to change.
• Data may be edited “in place”, i.e., double click to select an item and then type in
a new value.
• Date may be chosen from a drop-down list when only certain choices are
possible.
12.2.2 Changing Window Location – Dock/Undock
Windows may be docked to or undocked from the MPLAB IDE desktop.
12.2.2.1 UNDOCKED WINDOWS – DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
When you use MPLAB IDE, all windows are set to be undockable by default. This
means you may move windows around only on the MPLAB IDE desktop, and the active
window will be displayed over other inactive windows.

Note: File (editor) windows may not be made dockable.
