To float a dock bar use a method like the following:

floatDockBar( pJDB : JadeDockBar input );

vars
x, y : Real ;
height : Integer ;
begin
pJDB .windowToScreen( x, y );
pJDB .float( x.Integer, y.Integer, pJDB .width.Integer, pJDB ..height.Integer );
pJDB .floated( pJDB );
end;

To dock the dock bar use a method like the following:

floatDockBar( pJDB : JadeDockBar input );

vars

begin
pJDB .parent := myJadeDockContainer;
pJDB .top := myJadeDockContainer.height;
pJDB .docked(pJDB );
end;

Play around with the above code and you will be able implement what you need

The docking method should be called 'dockDockBar' not 'floatDockBar'...apologies for the confusion

Hi,
When double click the floating toolbar title,
How to catch the dbclick event ?

Can you explain what you mean because the dblClick event will be triggered when you double click the JadeDockBar so I presume there is a scenario that this event is not being triggered.

They're not referring to double clicking the JadeDockBar, rather they are referring to double clicking the "Window Title Bar" that Jade automatically creates for a free floating JadeDockBar.

Unfortunately double clicking this title bar does not fire the doubleClick event for the underlying JadeDockBar control, so they can't implement that event to capture the doubleClick event and automatically dock the free floating JadeDockBar.

I'm not actually sure if any event fires as a result of double clicking the title bar area of a free floating JadeDockBar. If you have a valid support contract it may be worth opening a contact in Parsys to ask Jade Support what events, if any, fire in this situation.

Cheers,
