**Tip: use Begin/BeginChild to put yourself into the context of another window prior or after outputting to it**<br> ### Use the Metrics window!
Many internal state and tools are exposed in the Metrics window. To access the Metrics window:
- Call `ShowMetricsWindow()`.
- Or from the Demo window you can find it in the Help menu.
They will help you understand how Dear ImGui works, and can help you diagnose problems.
### Use `Begin`/`BeginChild` to put yourself back into the context of another window

An interesting trick that isn't obvious is that you can use Begin() just to put yourself into the context of that window. So here I want to react to the user inputting an address to scroll to, I use BeginChild() again on the child that I've already drawn so I can use SetScrollFromPosY() on it.

```cpp ```cpp
ImGui::BeginChild("##scrolling", ImVec2(0, -ImGui::GetItemsLineHeightWithSpacing())); ImGui::BeginChild("##scrolling", ImVec2(0, -ImGui::GetFrameHeightWithSpacing()));
// ...(draw main content) // ...(draw main content)
ImGui::EndChild(); ImGui::EndChild();
