Moving Panels

Dock panels are the main building blocks of DEX application. They represent dockable windows on which visual controls are placed. A panel can be docked to another panel or it can float. The panel's caption allows you to drag a panel to a new position and thus perform docking operations on it.

To move a panel hold down the left mouse button and drag the panel. As you move the panel you will see small rectangles appear showing you where you can dock the panel you are moving. Below the Library Panel is being dragged.
