Doing this immediately undocks a window. Redock a window by double clicking the title bar. Doiong this docks the window at its previous location in the main application window .

There are five different docking locations within the application; at the top and the bottom of the larger window on the left and one in each of the three areas on the right. When more than one window is placed within any one of these areas you may dock a window on any one of the four sides or you may create tabbed windows.

To change the docking location of a window, left click and drag its title bar, or if the window is a tabbed window, you may also drag it by left clicking its tab. Doing this displays the docking tool shown in the following.

Figure 6.5. The Docking Tool

Drag the window you wish to dock towards your preferred docking area. Notice that the shading changes indicating the area where the window will be docked. To create a tabbed window drop the window at the center of the docking tool.

If you close a window by clicking the x button you can reopen it by choosing the appropriate option under the View, Windows menu option; it will reappear at its last location. For more information about the Windows menu options see Section 6.1.3, “The View Menu”. To reopen the MySQL Model window use the Overview option found under the View menu.
