Thanks Lynn, that points us in a better direction.
Now, to figure out:
A)how to put all three forms into one and,
B)how to make the routine that runs control panel call out a different
form

The form that has tabs with Find, Option, and visibility is mini.form
It's located under: ...share\pcb\text\forms...
If you want to find the other forms that are called by a command:
record a script, open the form, make a change to the form (you have to
do this), then stop the script. In the script file you'll see setwindow
form.formname -where formname is the name of the form... this might help
in your searching...
Have fun,
Lynn

Hi Kevin,
As always, we try to get our software suppliers to constantly improve
the tools we use. The suggestion was an attempt to bubble an idea to the
surface, with what I think is a useful alternative to the current
'tabbed' window. In that, when torn off, it can be re-sized like any
other window. With all the extra space provided with re-sizing, why not
have all the tabs visible at once? The effort is to reduce clicks and
mouse navigation.
Douglas Stanley had a great idea, one which I've also used to tweak
forms. Thanks Douglas. I did find only one file called 'findwin.form'
which represents the 'Find' tab. I haven't found the others yet, and
frankly, am not sure what I would do to tweak these all into one.
Will keep trying though..
Andrew

What are you talking about?
You can unattach the control window and make it as wide as
you want. You are correct that you can't see all of the tabs
at once, but I don't think that there is any tool with tabs
that lets you do that, why have tabs if you want to see
everything at the same time?
I have the control window on my second screen all of the
time. I don't even remember how to unattach it any more.
I'll go check it now. Hold on a second.
Got it. Go to view>customization>display and set the control
panel to undock. That's it!
Enjoy.
