MORE INFORMATION

The rest of this article discusses some further sources of information regarding Windows MDI programming.

Sources of Information on MDI Programming

Chapter 21 of the "Windows Software Development Kit Guide to Programming" provides information on developing Windows version 3.0 MDI applications.

The Windows SDK contains a sample MDI application called MULTIPAD. BLANDMDI was created by modifying MULTIPAD to remove all code not essential to an MDI application.

Another source of information on Windows MDI is "Programming Windows 3.1" by Charles Petzold (Microsoft Press).
