The idea of MDI is that you have one application window (also called 'program window') and multiple documents _within_ this window. So yes, it is multiple windows, but with the restriction that all these "document windows" are within the big application window. >If we have only a single document, but probably multiple views on it, how is >that called? I thought SDI. SDI means that each document has its own main window. To the user it looks like the application runs multiple times. SDI seems to be the natural way to develop applications following the MVC (model-view-controller) concept. Not sure what the proper term for your example would be. Sargon
