MDI dimensions

Getting Started
1

Hello

I try with MDI on a Windows PC.

My window has dimension 1000x600 as a single window it is perfect. But when I start it in a MDI the program frame is to small to see my window complete.

How can I set the dimensions from the program frame(by start)?

2

when the app starts up manipulate the MDIWindow
http://documentation.xojo.com/api/user_interface/desktop/mdiwindow.html

That said MDI is not strongly encouraged by MS as a design style any longer

3

how about maximized state of inner window?
i see the good ms design style at win 10^^

Many thanks for your respones
.
MDIWindow is it, I had not found in the help before.

Markus:
Is a good idea too but maximized in this case cut my window in the parent window.

Probable explanation:

Also: when was the last time you saw a (a then brand new) MDI application ?

MDI applications are so 1980’s :slight_smile:
