Does anyone actually use the ability to use floating toolbars in the IDE? It seems that the only way to stop this annoying habit of a toolbar becoming detached when you click on a disabled button is to prevent them from being able to be detached at all. Which personally would not be a problem.

I don't use them detached.

Ditto, disable the detach ability would be great.

disable the detachable toolbars; I really don't think anyone has a use for these and it's more inconvenient than convenient.

Yep U can remove the ability to detach - if not that then U may consider two states for the toolbar buttons (Display another glyph for the disabled state and don't process the clicks form a button in that state). Current method of disabling takes away keyboard input from the button in the disabled stare and click will be effectively on the toolbar making it detach.

Yes by all means get rid of them.
Nothing more anoying than trying to single step through a script and having the toolbar detach Crying or Very sad

Say, maybe it's possible for us to send an api to the toolbars to disable them from being detachable. I played a lot with some api calls to disable and enable stuff on other program windows from from VDS. I'll give it a try
and return with the results soon.

I haven't ever used them, but would it be possible to just add a checkbox
in the IDE options for this?

Well, didn't get the results I was looking for. The bars can be disabled
and other options, but unfortunately, it affects the buttons also. So the
buttons get disbled also. Sad

It still might be possible, because I was using a little program I call a
"Windows Poking Stick" which only offers a limited amount of API
options to test on programs. If I get a chance, I'll look through the API
info and see if I can find anything that might be of use.
