Still helping to fix crummy docking logic in the VBE in 2009 – cheers for the tips in restoring my working environment!

I had this same problem, and found an easy solution:

just open view/project explorer, then right click in the project explorer window, and select "Dockable". Now you have Project Explorer docked, and to dock other windows (e.g. the ones with the script) just by maximizing them..

As an addition to this post I've written a small article about this docking stuff:

I've just uploaded two video's on docking:

The watch window: http://www.jkp-ads.com/downloadscript.asp?filename=DockWatchWindow.avi
The project window: http://www.jkp-ads.com/downloadscript.asp?filename=DockProjectExplorer.avi

Both show that you must slowly drag the window in the area where you want it and closely watch the ghost border's shape, it indicates what happens if you let go.

A thick border indicates you're going to end up with a floating window. A thin border indicates it will dock. The size and position of the ghost window indicates where it will dock.

Thanks Rob!

Your explanation allowed me to reconstitute my VB6 window, which has been semi-functional for a while now.
