how to open an "undocked" controlbar

[krunch]

Hi
By default ControlBars are docked when opened, is there a way to open it "undocked" ?

From Fred's response to this post I tried show method with X Y arguments to open an undocked controlbar (dcl_form_show proj_dia intX intY)..

It works, but makes a palette "ghost" during a split second (on left and right side) when opening.. same thing with a Palette

Is there a way to find out if a Control Bar is docked on the left or right?

I don't think there's any direct way, but you could probably figure it out by looking at the x coordinate of its position.
