In addition to docking windows with others in the IDE, you can also have floating windows. To change a
docked window into a floating one, either drag it away from its current location and drop it somewhere
in the IDE without hitting one of the visual cues on the screen or choose Window ➪ Floating from the
main menu.
To restore a floating panel to its previous docked location, choose Window ➪ Dockable from the main
menu and then double-click its title bar.
Modifying the Toolbox
The Toolbox can be modified as well. You can reorder the items alphabetically, making them easier to find in
the list. To do this, open the Toolbox (press Ctrl+Alt+X), right-click one of the items in a category (such as the
TextBox under the Standard category), and choose Sort Items Alphabetically. You can also delete items from
the Toolbox by right-clicking them and then choosing Delete from the context menu. Don’t worry about
items getting lost forever; you can reset the Toolbox again by choosing Reset Toolbox from the same menu.
You can also add your own items to the Toolbox. The most common use for this is code snippets. Simply
highlight some text or code in the Document Window and drag it to the Toolbox. You can then right-
click the item and choose Rename Item to give it a more meaningful name that you can easily recognize.
