    Move A Dialog Off Your Screen Without Docking

    AskInga logo

    Original Tip Date: Mar. 3, 2003

    Move a dialog off your screen without docking
     
    To move a dialog such as Level Display off to the side without having it dock, just hold down the CTRL key while moving it!

    With thanks to Barry Bentley for posting this tip on the v8.general newsgroup!

    By the way, you can do this with nearly all Windows applications. (Thanks to Phil Chouinard for that one!)
