    [2005] Autohide split code window

    I've split a code window into two so I can see my global variables at the same time as programming a function (under window menu, selected "Split"). What I'd love though is if I could either autohide the second part of the split or treat it as a seperate window (so that I can ctrl-tab between them as needed). As far as I can tell, the only way to view the same code file in two areas is using a split.

    Does anybody know of a way of having the one part of the split window hidden (whether autohide or another window) or of opening the same code file twice in the compiler?

    Along similar lines, is there a way of hiding the properties sidebar in the code window, but having it locked visible in the designer? (its useless in the code window, but great in the designer... But I don't want to have to enable/disable every time I switch)

    There is no way to control the split window that I know of. I wanted to look at a class module at the same time look at the form module but the split only works in one module.
    I don't think you can only have your properties windows automatic. What I did was drag the properties, solution explorer and toolbar to the right side of the screen and choosing the center box of the docking. It places all three in a set of tab boxes so all you have to do is select the tab you want.

    Ok. I assume this is just a limitation of the development environment. Thanks for the help.
