ABSTRACT:
An advanced windows management system permits a user to customize views from a plurality of frame windows into a single target window. A view includes display information that corresponds to an underlying program. The user selects views from the frame windows, and the user specifies a target window for placement of the views, including the arrangement of the views, in the target window via a drag and drop operation. In response, the advanced windows management system docks and displays the selected views in the target window. The views may comprise textual, graphical and control information for a plurality of editors or tools used in software development. Through use of the advanced windows management system, a user generates editor windows that include views from tools and editors. Thus, the user is permitted to customize the editor window to include views for editors used on a project.
