; Title: Dock
; *Dock desired top level windows (dock clients) to any top level window (dock host)*
;
;
;
; Using dock module you can glue your or third-party windows to any top level window.
; Docked windows in module terminology are called Clients and the window that keeps their
; position relative to itself is called Host. Once Clients are connected to the Host, this
; group of windows will behave like single window - moving, sizing, focusing, hiding and other
; OS events will be handled by the module so that the "composite window" behaves like the single window.
;
; Module uses system hook to monitor windows changes, so it's idle when it is not aranging windows.
;
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Function: Dock
; Instantiate dock of given client upon host. Multiple clients per one host are supported.
;
;
; Parameters:
;
; pClientId - HWND of the Client GUI. Dock is created or updated (if already exists) for that hwnd.
; If "+" is the first char of pClientId, Dock will first show the window if it is hidden (for smoother initialisation)
; pDockDef - Dock definition, see bellow. To remove dock client pass "-".
; If you pass empty string, client will be docked to the host according to its current position relative to the host.
; reset - internal parameter, do not use.
;
; Globals:
; Dock_HostID - Sets docking host
; Dock_OnHostDeath - Sets label that will be called when host dies. Afterwards, module will disable itself using Dock_Toggle(false).
;
; Dock definition:
; Dock definition is string containing 10 numbers that describe Client positon relative to the Host. The big number of parameters allows
; fine tuning of Client's postion and basicly every setup is possible. Parameters are grouped in 4 classes - first 3 influence X coordinate
; of the client, next 3 Y coordinate, next 2 Client's width and final 2 Client's height:
;
;> xhw,xw,xd, yhh,yh,yd [, whw,wd, hhh,hd]
;> X Y W H
;
; o The *X* coordinate of the top, left corner of the client window is computed as
; *HostX + xhw*HostWidth + xw*ClientWidth + xd*, with the parameters xhw, xw and xd
;
; o The *Y* coordinate of the top, left corner of the client window is computed as
; *HostY + yhh*HostHeight + yh*ClientHeight + yd*, with the parameters yhh, yh and yd
;
; o The width *W* of the client window is computed as *whw*HostWidth + wd*, with the parameters whw and wd.
; Skip to let the client have its own width (or set to 0,0)
;
; o The height *H* of the client window is computed as *hhh*HostHeight + hd*, with the parameters hhh and hd.
; Skip to let the client have its own height (or set to 0,0)
;
; Returns:
; "OK" or "Err" with text describing last succesiful or failed action.
;
; Remarks:
; You must set DetectHiddenWindows if Host is practicing hiding. Otherwise, Dock will treat Host hiding as death.
; All clients will be hidden once host is terminated or it becomes hidden itself.
;
; Use SetBatchLines, -1 with dock module for fluid client movement. You will experience delay in clients moving otherwise.
; However, if CPU usage is very high, you might experience a delay in client movement anyway.
;
; If you are using *Gui, Show* command imediately before registering client, make sure you specify *NoActivate* flag.
;
; Currently its not supported to set Client window on top Host window. AlwaysOnTop (or TopMost) flag will not influence
; behavior of the module so avoid setups in which client is entirely covered by the Host.
;
; Example:
;> Dock(Client1ID, "0,-1,-10, 0,0,0, 0,63, 1,0") ;top left, host height
;> Dock(Client2ID, "0,0,0, 0,-1,-5, 1,0,0,30") ;top above, host width
;

; This is different from Dock_Shutdown as latest removes module completely from memory and

; You can also use this function to temporary disable module when you don't want dock update routine to interrupt your time critical sections.
