Questions tagged [mdiparent]

MDI stands for Multiple Document Interface. A MDIParent form can contain several MDIChild forms each of them doing indipendent things, but sharing the same parent container, menus and controls.

A MDIParent is an option to consider in developing an application displaying several documents at once, since it allows users to easily identify what belongs to an application and what is part of another.
