Multiple Document Interface (MDI) is a Microsoft Windows programming interface for creating an application that enables users to work with multiple documents simultaneously.
Which is an example of an MDI application?
Visual Studio . NET is an example of an MDI application—many source files and design views can be open at once. In contrast, Notepad is an example of an SDI application—opening a document closes any previously opened document. There is more to MDI applications than their ability to have multiple files open at once.
Is MDI still used?
Even though MDI is considered harmful, several applications (even MS Office, Adobe apps) still use it either in its pure form or some as a hybrid with a tabbed/IDE-like interface.
What is MDI and SDI?
MDI (multi-document interface) - allows users to simultaneously view multiple documents. SDI (single-document interface) - unlike MDI, SDI only supports a single “active” document. A classic example of an SDI interface are static tabs.
What is MDI in C++?
Visual C++ and MFC provide excellent support for creating Multiple Document Interface (MDI) applications. An MDI application allows multiple documents to be open at the same time, with each document possibly having multiple views.
