I make lots of use of the F4/Describe shortcut. Love it. In my 9.7 it would open
a new window to display the info. If I did anything to make that happen, I
don’t recall what it was. Nor can I find any mention of it in the 10.6
online help. I liked to drag that window to my second monitor for reference
while I worked in the MOE in my first monitor. Seems 10.6 just opens another tab
within the one Toad window.
How do I enable that feature in 10.6?
Thanks much,
Dan

Ah, yes. I had turned that off. The Automation Designer popup kept coming up
behind it and I’d be stuck. The AD popup was waiting for my response and I
couldn’t “get there” to respond. I think now that I’ve
finally told AD, “Never again” I should be able to re-enable
“Stay on Top”.
If you can resolve who should be on top when, I’d be glad to have the AD
back again.
Thanks much,
Dan

do you mean this? If so, that’s more of a first time use window just letting
people know which operations in Toad were accomplished with a ‘Toad Action’ and
can therefore be recalled. Once people are aware that things like exporting
grids can be run over again via the AD’s Action Recall I wouldn’t think it would
be useful to keep using it. Having said that, I think I have an item in my ‘to
do’ stack somewhere requesting the ability to turn this back on again, since
right now once you dismiss it you can’t bring it back.

I do mean that. J The problem is not that it pops up, but that it pops up behind
the “Stay on Top” window and thus I can’t get to it. I do not
relish having to restart Toad every time I do an action that the AD has not
recorded before.

I've set Describe windows to open "Stay on Top," perform an operation which uses
an Action, and the AD dialog opens on top of the Stay on Top Describe window,
where I can close it:

there’s a “stay on top” checkbox on the dialog itself (not sure what version it
was introduced), and in Toad Options, go to Schema Browser > Describe windows,
and you’ll find it there also
