"Liquid" Dialog Boxes and Dialog Docking

A Liquid Dialog Box is one that can appear in three modes:

  1. As a regular non-modal dialog

  2. As a docked pane

  3. In a short version, as a docked toolbar (top-docked)

To change the docking, right-click on the dialog pane and choose the docking mode:

Currently there are three liquid dialogs: Insert Element Dialog, Element Attributes Dialog, and Find&Replace Dialog. For example, here are the three appearances of the Insert Element Dialog:

Figure 2. Undocked Insert Element Dialog Box



Figure 3. Right-docked Insert Element Dialog Box



Figure 4. Top-Docked Insert Element Dialog



Note:

When you make a selection, the docked Insert Element Dialog is replaced with the Wrap Into Element Dialog.
