The MSO Control Bar

Your application includes several control bars which make use an elegant and intuitive tool, called Smart Docking, to customize your screen layout. MSO is presented as a control bar.

Control bars can be positioned anywhere, either docked within the application window of floating anywhere on any screen. Control bars can be grouped, they can be docked and they can be made to hide and reveal themselves automatically.

Smart Docking uses drag-and-drop. When a control bar has been selected and dragged away from a docked position, the docking buttons appear:



	Select to dock panel to top of active window.

Select to dock panel to left side of active window.	Select to group with other control bars and create a tab.	Select to dock panel to left side of active window.

	Select to dock panel to bottom of active window.

As the control bar is dragged over one of the many available docking positions of your application, a preview of its dropped outline displays. If no docking location is selected the control bar will float.

You can adjust the width and height of the MSO control bar when docked or undocked. If docked, neighbouring control bar dimensions are adjusted to accommodate the new size.

Toggle the display of control bars using pin icons:

	Permanently displayed - Pinned in position.
	Hide and show automatically.
