Window Layouts

When you open a form, the Form Designer is opened as a “docked” tabbed window or as an “undocked” floating window, depending on your last preference.

When you dock or undock the Form Designer window and its panes, the layout of the panes you have opened, resized and repositioned, can be saved as a custom window layout. This allows you to apply the same layout to different forms without having to manually recreate the layout for each form.

At any time, the Form Designer's default layout can be restored.

Save

Click Save Layout on the Form Designer ribbon to save the current window layout as a custom layout.

Restore

Click Restore Layout on the ribbon to restore your saved (custom) layout after you have made changes to the layout and want to revert your custom layout back to the way it was.

Note that the size of an undocked form is not saved, nor is it restored. The size of the Grid container of a form determines the size of the form when it is undocked from a Micromine Geobank tab.

Reset

Click Restore Layout on the ribbon to restore the Form Designer’s default window layout.
