Re: MDI, is it possible???

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

I've been following this thread, and it seems to me that you could 
create all the possible widgets that you would display under all 
possibilities (menu selections), but just not show the widgets until 
they are activated by the menu item.  Naturally, widgets that were 
previously shown would be hidden when a different menu selection was 
made to show other widgets.

I use screens in my applications that have a record browsing mode and a 
record editing mode.  When in browsing mode, I de-sensitize all my 
editing widgets, but I could just as easily hide them instead.

Just a thought, but you could try it out and see what happens.
