TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

Each window can appear in one of the following states:
• Docked to one of the borders of the main window.
• Docked to another window.
• Floating at any location on the computer screen; individually or grouped/docked together
with other windows.
• Tabbed with other windows – as one of several tabbed documents in the background
of the main window or together with other windows in a floating or docked frame.
• Auto-Hidden while not active with quick access via a button on any side of the main
window.
The possibility to group related windows together in TrainController, either docked
or tabbed, in the main window or in a floating frame somewhere on the computer
screen, opens interesting possibilities. It is possible, for example, to arrange a set of related
windows for control of one part of the layout together in one group and to arrange
another set of related windows for another part of the layout in another group. Such
group of related windows can be then moved, resized, hidden, restored and even docked
and tabbed together with other groups of windows just like one single window, which
makes it very convenient and effective to manage sets of windows, that belong together.
An example of such related windows is a switchboard combined with a dispatcher window,
that shows just the block diagram of this switchboard (TrainController Gold
allows you to create multiple block diagrams for multiple switchboards and to open
more than one dispatcher window: more about this later). No matter how many windows
you need to open to represent your entire layout, you will find a window arrangement,
that fits your needs and personal taste.
TrainController makes docking of windows intuitive and easy by showing docking
markers for each window, that is currently being dragged over the computer screen. The
docking markers intuitively indicate, where to move the mouse to dock the dragged
window to the desired location. By moving the mouse to a docking marker an additional
docking outline provides a clear preview of the docking effect. Thanks to this feature,
which has been borrowed from state-of–the-art professional software development systems
there is no more puzzling, where a window will be finally docked.
