Windows, Views, Editor windows:
The windows you get displayed within or beside the user interface frame window at
first sight all look the same. But there are two types:
1. Some can be docked to any margin of the frame window or alternatively can be
positioned on the screen as undocked windows independently from the frame window
. Also they can be "hidden", that is just represented by a tab in the frame border. Those
windows display information which is not depending on a single object of the project,
for example Messages, Devices, POUs, Toolbox. They can be accessed via the 'View'
menu commands and also are named "views". Most views include a non-configurable
toolbar with buttons for sorting, viewing, searching within the window.
2. Others open when you are viewing or editing a specific project object in the
respective editor. Those are displayed in a tabbed editor area or depending on the
given user interface settings as MDI windows. They cannot be "hidden" resp. undocked
from the frame window. They can be accessed via the 'Window' menu commands.
Additional types of windows or views might be added via manufacturer specific
components.
