MDI Mode

 

You can implement the MDI UI using a Document Group container. If you set the DocumentGroup.MDIStyle property to MDIStyle.MDI, the Document Group's child panels will be represented as floating windows. They can be freely moved within the container, maximized, minimized and restored as the MDI UI dictates.

DocumentGroup_CD_MDI

See Document Groups and Panels to learn more.
