Multiple Document Interface
The multiple document interface (MDI) is a specification that defines a user
interface for applications that enable the user to work with more than one
document at the same time.
This overview describes the structure of an MDI application and how to take
advantage of the built-in MDI support found in the Microsoft® Win32® application program interface (API).
MDI is an application-oriented model. Many new and intermediate users find it
difficult to learn to use MDI applications. In the future, applications will
use a more document-oriented model. Therefore, you may want to consider models
such as workspaces, or workbooks for your user interface. However, you can use
MDI for applications which do not easily fit into another model until a more
suitable model is introduced. For more information on workspaces and workbooks, see The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design.
