Figure 1-14 Dragging a window for docking

As shown in Figure 1-14, you’ll see a visual set of icons appear over the workspace, indicating the docking zones where you can move the window to. The shadow of the window will show what the new location will be whenever you drag a window into a docking zone. Dropping the window into the docking zone will move the window from its old docking zone into the new docking zone.

Floating Windows

The Float option allows windows to appear anywhere in the VS IDE, where you can move them at will. You move a floating window by selecting the floating window’s title bar and moving the carat to the new location where you want the window to be. Alternatively, you can double-click on the title bar. Figure 1-15 shows the Toolbox floating over other windows.
