Just a quick question, how do I include the node information window in layout? Even if I look at the list of new pane tab type, there is no node info.

With a load of python and raw Windows API calls it can be done



But in this case it's a bit sketchy since that window can come and go depending on a users actions, it's not like a main application window.

If you want to explore, the above is done with my AppEmbed panel that can dock any application in an Houdini pane, normally used for an visual code or some PDF with references. Link to source in the video description:

More code, less clicks.

Which version are you using? It's there for me, last on the New Pane Tab Type list .

I recall it being version 21.0.4xx in the Linux environment, but I see it's 21.0.596 on Windows. I'll have to double-check
