Multiple Floating Editor Windows

(1/2) > >>

zarnce:
Code::Blocks has the same issue I have with VS.  If you are using multiple monitors the second monitor is basically useless.  Would it be possible (is the Gui library capable) to have floating editor windows like you can with the Open File List or Management bars?  I wanted to know before I went digging in the code to see if it would work.

Thanks

thomas:
That's unluckily not possible at the present time. All editors are owned by a wxFlatNoteBook control, and tabs  are not "floatable".

dmoore:
or put another way: if you are going to do some hacking, wxFlatNotebook would be the natural place to start.

rickg22:
Now that'd be cool.  Integrating wAUI with wxFlatNotebook so we could detach for example, the compiler messages :)

zarnce:
So how much of an effort would this be?  Can anyone give a decent estimation?  Having multiple editor windows would be really useful. (Especially since a lot of people use multiple monitors these days - I have 3)  I'm assuming that it would take a fairly large design change to make it work?

Thanks
