Does Code::Blocks support multiple monitor editing?

I see some old thread here: multi-monitor editing

But is it possible currently.

Maybe, we can drag the wxAuiNotebook to another monitor?
Or a floating editor window in another monitor?

Miguel Gimenez:
The main editor window seems to be anchored, but other windows (Management, Open Files List, Watches or Logs & others) can be moved to other monitor. I have not tried to save their positions, though.

Yes, the editor window(I guess it is wxAuiNotebook) is docked, and can't be floated. But even it can be floated, can we make two floated? We have add a new floating wxAuiNotebook window?

I'm going to check whether wx samples.

EDIT

I just checked the wxAui sample project.
In its menu: View->Notebook, a new floating notebook is created, I can maximize the new notebook in the second monitor, and I can drag the editor(panel) between the old and new wxNotebook.

EDIT2

I added the wxAui sample application screen shot.

The code in aui sample looks like simple:


--- Code: ---void MyFrame::OnCreateNotebook(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
{
    m_mgr.AddPane(CreateNotebook(), wxAuiPaneInfo().
                  Caption("Notebook").
                  Float().FloatingPosition(GetStartPosition()).
                  //FloatingSize(FromDIP(wxSize(300,200))).
                  CloseButton(true).MaximizeButton(true));
    m_mgr.Update();
}

--- End code ---

ollydbg:
In the function: void MainFrame::CreateIDE()

There are some code snippets like:


--- Code: ---    // editor manager
    m_LayoutManager.AddPane(m_pEdMan->GetNotebook(), wxAuiPaneInfo().Name("MainPane").
                            CentrePane());

--- End code ---

So, this is the CentrePane, I think we can't make it float.

Edit:
It is a bit complex to construct the cbAuiNotebook, see the code below:


--- Code: ---EditorManager::EditorManager()
        : m_pNotebook(nullptr),
        m_pNotebookStackHead(new cbNotebookStack),
        m_pNotebookStackTail(m_pNotebookStackHead),
        m_nNotebookStackSize(0),
        m_isCheckingForExternallyModifiedFiles(false)
{
    m_pData = new EditorManagerInternalData(this);

    m_pNotebook = new cbAuiNotebook(Manager::Get()->GetAppWindow(), ID_NBEditorManager, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
                                    wxAUI_NB_DEFAULT_STYLE | wxAUI_NB_WINDOWLIST_BUTTON | wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE | wxCLIP_CHILDREN);
--- End code ---

I'm still thinking this feature, I'm not sure how you edit the code, but nowadays, I do have more time to have multiple monitors.

So, is there any way that I can "float" an CbEditor window? Or I can "float" a wxAuiNotebook(cbAuiNotebook) window?

With this way, I can view code on my two monitors.
