Using a Multiple Document Interface

The IDE provides two interfaces that you can use to manage your windows:

To switch from an SDI to an MDI:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools and choose Setup Wizard.
  2. In the Setup Wizard window, find Window Mode and select Full Screen Mode ("MDI").
  3. Click Finish.

    The IDE changes your setup to a multiple document interface.

  4. Use the following items on the Window menu to arrange the frames in your MDI.
Tip Right-clicking the title bar of an MDI frame displays a menu with items for operating on the frame, such as minimizing the frame. You can cycle through the MDI windows using Ctrl-F6.
