I gave up on MDI designs a long time ago, and with it all the associated problems. I think single document interfaces (SDI) are much better UI's anyway.

Glad you solved your problem though.

No, SDI. My clients had continuous problems with MDI..

... articulos, facturas, etc, heredan de una clase programa, en dicha clase se puede implementar el metodo general para la apertura de la ventana SDI o MDI para todas las hijas. Como ejemplo, parte del codigo de activación para cada ventana METHOD Activate() CLASS TProgram _date() ...

... year ago they were asking for backstage. You can make good or bad decisions on a Metro style interface as well as Ribbon Bar, Regular Button Bar, SDI, or MDI. You have to listen to the users and be guided by what they need, not what we want them to have. Sometimes all they need is a new feature ...

I remember , that someone did SDI application with tabs , but can't to say what exastly . Maybe you can direct me to that ?

... window is closed and also the preview window can not be closed. This is fixed now. With this fix: When the application has a main window (MDI or SDI), when the main window is closed, all open Preview windows are closed. When the application does not have a main window (application starting with ...

... twice with different data selected. You can do this with a main window and a splitter too. Just about anything you can do with MDI you can do with SDI. The main issue I have with MDI is all the window manipulation that the user has to do. This is just overhead work for them, that gets in the way ...

Ese no es el problema,

Funciona en un dialogo y/o un entorno sdi.

El metodo open es para la clase tdbodbcdirect, y yo estoy usando tdbodbc.

el metodo open si la memoria no me falla mete el resultado del query en una tabla dbf/cdx lo que la hace sumamente lenta con tablas grandes.

I can reproduce it (in my app) on 7, vista and xp tested on all 3 of them

I use sdi mainly, i have the problem on xbrowse mainly but on some browses (not all) which make it difficult to isolate

Reinaldo, I feel obligated to say that SDI takes about the same amount of code as the MDI example. So if you are thinking of migrating to this MDI example then think twice about migrating to SDI. With SDI you won't have the windows control issues ...

... menu or you would have to modify the FW menu source to keep the mdi child windows from showing up on the menu. You don't have this issue with SDI. Regards, James /*Purpose : Test ExplorerBar with MDI Author  : James Bott, jbott@compuserve.comCompany : Intellitech, gointellitech.comDate ...

... Now I remember VTaskBar--I have a copy of it somewhere. I have used Manuel's TSButtons and bar too. Below is sample code of how to simulate an SDI interface using MDI. Of course, this would also require some modification of your code--perhaps less than converting to SDI, but you would have ...

... two horizontal button bars next to each other, albeit one belongs to the parent and the other to the child. Again, I know that's why you speak of sdi and I agree. If the world was perfect... ;-) That I know of, the windows bar (as in oWnd:obar), is the only control that you can't move a window ...

Thank you for the link. Looks good. I'm not saying it is impossible to imitate mdi with sdi or even undesirable. I'm saying it is already working with mdi. I don't like to go back and change code that is working unless there is a bug to be fixed AND your changes will ...

Here is a video of an SDI app made with FW (many years ago).
