GSP environment

In GSP 11 window docking is introduced. This allows windows (or rather window panels) to being docked to facilitate project configuration management.

There are 2 main docking window locations:

•Docking in the main application window:
The main window has been extended with a ‘docking site’ allowing all the standard and custom component library windows to be docked inside the main window or in separate windows alone or together with other libraries. The docking style can be user adapted by selection from a number of predefined styles including the XP theme style that will reflect the Windows XP desktop theme setting. The main window docking layout and style can be saved, restored and reverted (StdModeldockingscheme.xml) to a standard layout if necessary. This facilitates the user to optimally configure his ‘GSP desktop’ only once. Please note that the main window should never be maximized on the screen to prevent the problem of not being able to drop the dragged component from library to the model/project window (because the main window hides the model/project window).

•Docking in the project window:
All non-modal forms representing the project including the model configurations, display of results, reports or information, can be docked by the user to personalize the user interface. An interface to manage these window configurations is provided in the model window view menu to facilitate docking layout saving, restoring and reverting (StdModeldockingscheme.xml) to a standard layout if necessary. This facilitates the user to optimally configure his personal standard ‘GSP model environment’.
