docking code and form

[Arend041]

LS,
I recently switched to Lazarus 4.0 and in this version, how can I get the code and form in a docked window, as is possible in Lazarus 3?
So not display the form as a separate floating window.

If you didn't select it in the one-time setup dialog...

Menu: Tools > Options
Page: Environment > Docked form editor

Thank you for your response. The menu item you mentioned does not appear in v 4 does appear in version 3.

Which OS do you use? How did you install?

I have an unmodified Windows install (with the official installer), and the entry does exist.
I haven't tested other OS.

Anyway if you build yourself, or if you rebuild (and maybe something was in your old config / I haven't seen it happen yet, but maybe...) then maybe the relevant package did get un-installed (or was never installed if you did build from source).

In any case, install the package "DockedFormEditor", then the entry should appear in the options, and you can enable it.

Perhaps the following is the culprit, first installed lazarus-4.0-fpc-3.2.2-win64 and then in the same folder installed lazarus-4.0-fpc-3.2.2-cross-i386-win32-win64.

How do I restore one and all now?

LS,
I reinstalled DockedFormEditor and everything works fine again. Thanks for the help.
