Avoid designing a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application--an application in which primary windows are represented as internal windows inside a backing window.
Many users have trouble manipulating the windows of MDI applications. In addition, an MDI application's main window can sometimes obscure a user's view of other applications.
Use no internal windows in your application.
