Well, if the language isn't updated to support dockable windows then
that sucks! I've coded dockable windows in LC script currently. Each of
2 Windows has a group that contains all the relevant functions of the
windows. One window has a dock/undock control outside it's groups.
Docking moves the groups to the 1st window and remove the window so now
the 1st window contains the 2 functional groups next to one another. The
groups that was just docked has an undock control. Clicking it move that
group back to it's own window which appears and is sized appropriately
and the 1st window is resized for just the single group.
It is a pain to script and it would make single vs multiple window
layout management much easier if it was built into the language in some way.
