About

There's been a lot of patches and wishes for Messages window to be docked at the source editor of Lazarus IDE. All patches were eventually rejected, because Messages window must be dockable by using Docking manager, that's not yet fully implemented for all widgetset.

Keeping Messages window floating might be very annoying for some people, especially coming from Delphi.

This IDE extension allows Messages window to dock to the source editor.

Screenshot

Here is an exemple of My Component.
