Setting Up and Saving Workspaces

A workspace is a configuration of forms that open together. If you use a group of forms often, you can set up a workspace that lets you open all the forms with one command, with the size and position of the forms preset.

Note: Arranging the order of the forms in a workspace only applies when using a Windowed layout. The order of the forms and how they are opened is not honored in a Tabbed Layout.

To set up and save a workspace:

  1. Open each form that you want to include in the group and then adjust the size and position of each form to the configuration you want. Here are some tips:
    • To remove the Explorer window from the group, minimize it.
    • To move a form, drag the title bar.
    • To change the form's size, drag the borders.
    • To arrange the forms as tiled or cascaded windows, use the Window menu.
  2. Select Form > Workspaces.
  3. In the Workspaces dialog box, click New.
  4. In the Name field, specify the name of the workspace.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Set from Current Forms.
  7. Click Done.
