What’s the best way to start developing an MDI type application using PhAB .
I want a base window that can use menus to launch child windows that are
restricted to moving in the base window and minimize as icons in the base
window. What is the best base window to start with from the PhAB
File…New… dialog box (Plain, Main window, Project App). What are the
properties of the base and child windows that make this work.

I can get programs to launch child windows, but I can’t get the MDI behavior
I am looking for.

Thanks.

Hello Bart,

There really isn´t any easy way to do this that I know of. Some of the
functionality you´re looking for is there already but as far as the
minimizing of windows to icons goes, I think this will be vary involved.
I´m sure someone will correct me if I´m wrong on that.

Another possibility could be that you do something like Ped uses and
have a button that switches buffers.

Regards,
Dave B.
