Desktop Tools and Development Environment

Closing Documents

To close a document, click the Close box in that document's title bar. If you select the Close box for the tool, all documents in that tool close. See the following illustration for an example. For Editor/Debugger documents, if you have unsaved changes, a dialog box appears asking if you want to save the document. If you do not want to see the dialog box and do not want to save any unsaved changes, hold Ctrl and click the Close box.

You can also close documents using any of these methods:

• Context menu in a document's title bar
• Context menu or Close box for a document in the document bar
• Close Documents items in the Window menu
• Close Current_Document_Name in the File menu
• The standard Windows shortcut for those platforms, Ctrl+F4

For example, in the undocked Editor/Debugger, select Window -> Close Documents to close all documents in the Editor/Debugger. The Editor/Debugger remains open with no documents in it, and any undocked Editor/Debugger documents remain open.

For an undocked document or tools, you can right-click the task bar entry and select Close.

When there are open documents that are not docked within their tools, close all open documents and document tools by selecting Window -> Close All Documents from the desktop.
