Maybe you could set it up so it can be docked/undocked from the main form and moved around.

Roger, there is a problem with Windows and Tab structure like we use in Hoster. When we disable this window, because it is BELOW the MENU BAR, the window will NOT DISABLE until you start PLAYING!

Also, we have already had very positive feedback from some users with, shall we say, vision imparement. They love the ability to resize the window and move it elsewhere.

If I hear you correctly, you move Hoster around during your show, so the Preview Display window is not following Hoster. Try this:
1. Move Hoster where you what it.
2. Close Hoster
3. Reopen Hoster
4. The Preview Display window will be where it always has been.

We will be stripping the Tab structure from Hoster in version 3.0. However, for now we needed to allow the Disable Preview Display to work. Making it a floating window is the only way we can solve the problem with Tabs, without extensive research (we already spent over 8 hours trying to overcome the Microsoft limitation).

We could move the Add Tracks group of controls to the left, and shift the Preview Display window and Show Time field to the right. This also would overcome the problem... and cost me a LOT of time recapturing and processing images, the redoing the manual.
