Docking a window means fixing it in position, as compared to the rest of the applications, which can move around. A floating window is one that you can freely move by clicking and dragging it. Windows 11 remembers previous window docking positions and sizes, which is an update from past versions.
I see so windows are not dockable. Sorry, I expected it was dockable since I could undock it. It is back in the right place now. Some disappeared (not sure which), but at least the cut/layer is back where it belongs.
Thanks for the additional details, we can also disconnect the docking station from the computer entirely and power on the system with the display disconnected to see if the system loads to the login/desktop, or if it still hangs at the Gigabyte logo without the docking station.
The BIOS will only be visible on a monitor directly connected to the computer, the DisplayLink software that controls the external displays through the docking station is not loaded until after the BIOS hands off to Windows, this is the expected behavior.
Checking to see if anyone else has seen this problem. Latitude 5520 on a docking station, running Windows 11. The network connection keeps flaking out. I'll have the ethernet connection symbol, then it will go to Wi-Fi then it goes to the World (disconnected) symbol.
Sadly, that doesn't work for me...I generally get stuck shutting down the laptop, unplugging it from the dock and resetting the power on the dock as well before plugging it all back in and rebooting. That might work anywhere from hours to minutes and I'm stuck again.
Same here. We have several laptops and docking stations. WD15 and WD19. All seem to have the issue at the same time. Disconnecting the ethernet cable and using wireless fixes the issue. All these users are on Windows 11. Any setup with Win10 and these docking stations don't have a problem. I believe it's Win11 update issue as I don't have auto updates for Dell docking station configured. However, I haven't tried updating the docking station drivers, but looking at the WD15 drivers at Dell, there's no support for Win11.
Someone suggest a VPN client could be causing an issue. Are you running an VPN clients?
I have one installed from AT&T, however, the network connection blips whether I have the software running or not.
Same issue as described, also did the same with regards to connecting ethernet right to the laptop and avoiding the docking station as a work-around. Meh, this wd19 docking station, idk, about a year in with it and some head-scratchers for sure (led flashing, actual plug casing (plastic on the usb-c end) separated day 1, and yep, odd ethernet drops with Win11 -> simple unplug-replug of usb-c connection to resolve). Here is flow control post from recent days Dell shared with me from another post. So far,,, only been a few days, but so far, since enabling flow control, have not had other drops with ethernet via docking station...
We have this issue with Latitudes on Windows 11 as well. We connect to Dell USB-C docking monitors and Ethernet is plugged into the monitor.
It is most noticeable in video conferencing like Teams, Zoom, Webex.
Also, you can call the Windows API reparenting functions to place your windows inside each other (you can do a search for "MDI" to see some examples), but you should that LV might not play nicely with that.
The Snap To Panel example provides the ability to control the position of one LabVIEW subpanel relative to another LabVIEW front panel (docking). The Snap To Panel example enables you to position the subpanel either outside or within the bounds of the main panel; however, when the subpanel is positioned within the bounds of the main panel, it does not actually become a part of the main panel.
Although the Snap To Panel example does not enable you to dock/detach subpanels within the main application window exactly as you described, it may be a good starting point for generating ideas for how to do what you want.
I think that perhaps a solution that combines the functionality found in the examples the you and I posted would work nicely, although I do not have time to work on that at the moment. Perhaps Pierre will take our examples and use them to create this new solution.
There is a nice example from Thoric ( -9946) showing what can be done with .NET objects. There are some .NET packages related to docking/floating windows ( ) it would be great to be able to reuse them.
These examples all show that what you want to do is possible and also that there are several methods to achieve it. In my opinion, the key lies in selecting a method that best fits your particular application and that you are comfortable with implementing.
I modified Arnoud's example a bit. This version is in LabVIEW 2012. The main improvement is that it accounts for window menu bar/tool bar, etc... (In Arnouds example he made assumptions about the menu bars presense the lack of toolbar and the absolute pixels of them) . Rest of the changes are mostly block diagram cosmetics.
I don't know if you are still looking for something like this. I have been using Saphir's XTab control. It provides a Chrome like tab control, where you can detach the different tabs and have them float as individual windows or bring them back to the original tab control.
I wanted to report a bug I have found and decided to do it here for visibility reason as it can be quite obscure to workaround. As I didn't found any trace of people in the same situation as me I hope this will help light on the issue and get it fixed.
Since Maya 2017 I can't dock any "Dock" or "Panel" that are undocked, meaning I can't move back a panel or dock it into the interface once I tear it appart. After a long time investigating I finally figured out it was related to my mouse settings in Windows.
I've found an alternative to toggling the swap setting every time. Grab the window/ panel using your primary (right) button, and while still holding the primary button also hold the secondary (left) button. Drag into place and release your secondary (left) button to dock.
It seems that for docking Maya is looking at the hardware sides instead of the primary/ secondary set by Windows, yet holding/ moving the panels (along with seemingly everything else in Maya) respects the Windows setting.
I've always used my mouse left-handed but only noticed this bug recently when I switched mice. I didn't even think about that fact until I found your post. Since updating from 2014 I had been using a mouse where the buttons are already flipped in the hardware (Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition), so I didn't use the Windows swap. I wonder what other weird things we've unknowingly been dealing with as a result of that kind of programming.
if you're left handed like I am and have switched mouse buttons I can confirm the docking does not work. The blue docking line appears very briefly, but panels do not dock upon mouse release. This is a bug, as it seems to be hard coded to work with left_mouse_button as opposed to primary_mouse_button.
So... no clues? Ive seen people have had this issue in linux and it was logged as a deffect but that was maya 2017 and running on linux.

I keep trying different solutions but still cant dock panels.
Windows on dock individually/ungroup: I know that if I click on an open application's icon, I'll get a nice little pop-up/tooltip showing me all the individual instances/windows of that app. Unfortunately, that's two whole steps which feel very uncomfortable for me. I'd prefer to have each instance shown separately along with a window title (so I can tell them apart). That way, I can just click directly on the window I want.
Windows on switcher individually/ungroup: Also, I noticed the ALT + Tab seems to switch between application "types" rather than individual windows. So I can't simply use that shortcut to switch between two open terminals, for example. I have to use the mouse every time. Is there a way to change that behavior so that it just switches between individual windows based on their order they were last in focus?
Open "Tweaks". On the Extensions tab, enable "Windows list". This gives you a taskbar with one button (icon and text) for each individual window. Optionally, "disable Ubuntu dock" to disable the dock.
At first, the extension will work the 'modern' way, i.e., showing one icon for each application. The extension is extensively configurable, though. In Gnome Tweaks, click the gear icon next to the extension to access its options. On the "behavior" tab, turn "Ungroup applications" on, and tweak using the gear icon.
Option 2 Switch to the Window switcher instead. In "Settings", "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, set the shortcut key for "Switch windows" to Alt+Tab. The officially supported "Alternatetab" extension that also does this will not anymore be available in newer versions of Ubuntu.
For the Alt-Tab issue, you don't need to install anything new. Simply go to Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard and set the Switch Windows option to Alt-Tab. See -tab-display-separate-windows-ubuntu-18-04/.
I have a dual monitor setup at work. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, and I would like to take advantage of the docking feature, whereby you can drag a window to the side of the monitor and have it expand and fill to half the screen. Trouble is, I would like to drag it to the inside edge(adjoining the other screen) and it does not activate.
On a dual monitor setup, the inside edges where the 2 monitors meet must be transparent for the 'snap' feature when dragging windows. If it were not transparent, you would not be able to drag anything from one monitor to the other monitor.
Make sure your Windows 11 device supports Miracast. To check on your PC, press the Windows logo key + K. If your device doesn't support Miracast, you might see a message saying you need to connect a cable to cast to an external display.
