9.4.3. Showing two windows side-by-side
You can display two windows side-by-side in the main window work area. Switching to any one of these windows displays both of them.
The following rules apply to windows that are displayed side-by-side:
- A window can be displayed side-by-side with one other window only.
- Docked windows cannot be displayed side-by-side with other windows.
To show two windows side-by-side, click Show side-by-side (vertically)/Show side-by-side (horizontally). The command is available:
- In the system command bar (the Dock/Show side-by-side with another window button)
- In the context menu of an open window or an item on the open items panel
You can also use the Show side-by-side with current window (vertically)/Show side-by-side with current window (horizontally) command of the context menus of items in the open items panel.
The commands perform the following actions:
- Show side-by-side (vertically). The second window is displayed to the right of the first one. If the command is executed from the context menu of an inactive window, it becomes active.
- Show side-by-side (horizontally). The second window is displayed below the first one. If the command is executed from the context menu of an inactive window, it becomes active.
- Show side-by-side with current window (vertically). The current window is displayed at the left.
- Show side-by-side with current window (horizontally). The current window is displayed at the top.
Two side-by-side windows are shown as a single tab on the open items panel.
To show the windows separately, right-click a form title or an item of the open items panel, and then click Undock/Show separately.
