I notice that the watch and variables windows can go side by side. I would also like to add the source browse windows beside them.
Anybody know how to do that? I know I can release it but then it gets lost.
(I've been using Visual Studio 2006 for a while and like the list of function names at the top. I got the list of function names by right clicking on the project name and selecting browse, so that is nice, but this bar when it's docked takes up a lot of screen space.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Scott,
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to position the source code browsing window within the docking region of the variables and watch windows. The souce code browsing window has its own docking region which is intended for the multiple browse tabs that you can have within that window.
You mentioned that when you release the browse window, it gets "lost". Does that mean that it goes behind your main workspace window (which would happen if you have your workspace window maximized) or do you really mean "lost" as in "it really is gone, I have no idea where it went" -- that shouldn't happen, so let me know if that's the case. However, if it just went behind the workspace window, you can toggle the two windows back and forth by pressing <Ctrl-F6> repeatedly.
If using <Ctrl-F6> to switch between thw two windows is too cumbersome, then your only option at this point (unless you have a second monitor) is to de-maximize the workspace window and then resize the windows to make some room for the browse window next to the workspace window, or above it, or below it.
