I have some custom made forms that was created docked to the bottom (where the output and preview panes are)
After accidently double clicking them I can't dock them back.
Tried some left and right clicking and dragging of the horizontal bar on the left, no good
using win7 SE 15.0.1.3
One of the problematic forms's code:
_form some_name {
p_backcolor=0x80000005;
p_border_style=BDS_SIZABLE;
p_caption='some caption';
p_clip_controls=false;
p_forecolor=0x80000008;
p_height=2000;
p_width=10000;
p_x=1600;
p_y=1200;
p_eventtab2=_toolbar_etab2;
_editor LogRecord {
p_auto_size=false;
p_backcolor=0x80000005;
p_border_style=BDS_FIXED_SINGLE;
p_height=1070;
p_scroll_bars=SB_BOTH;
p_tab_index=1;
p_tab_stop=true;
p_width=5000;
p_x=0;
p_y=0;
p_eventtab2=_ul2_editwin;
}
}

It's sometimes possible to force a form to dock in the toolbar area. I'm pretty sure that's actually a bug -- the supported way to do that is to create a toolbar that hosts the form. See the attached screen shot for the steps.

I'm not sure I follow.
I've got a bunch of forms all created in the same way I described earlier.
Attaching 2 snapshots:
1. example of a docked form (with the pin and the x on the top right side)
2. example of what happens when I undock it (drag or double click) - it becomes a window that I can't dock back (trust me that it was the same as the first one before I undocked it)
what I want to do is to be able to dock these guys back
Thanks

GOT IT!!!!!
for future reference:
right click somewhere on the form where you get a list of all the toolbars.
remove the V next to "Floating" and it will bounce back to it's original position
pretty scketchy interface IMHO...
