Syntax

Hide docking area {docking-area (e.g. kDockingAreaBottom)}

Description

This command closes either the top, bottom, left, or right docking area. The docking area is specified using one of the docking area constants: kDockingAreaTop, kDockingAreaBottom, kDockingAreaLeft, or kDockingAreaRight.

When you close a library, Omnis does not automatically close any docking areas that are open. You must explicitly hide each docking area using Hide docking area. Leaving docking areas open and closing the library containing those docking areas can cause problems in your application.

Example

Show docking area {kDockingAreaLeft}
# install toolbar on left docking area
Install toolbar {tbMyToolbar}
# when the library closes, hide the docking area
Hide docking area {kDockingAreaLeft}
# alternatively you can use the following notation
Do $root.$prefs.$dockingareas.$assign(kDockingAreaNone)
