The MDI client window manages a number of MDI child windows in a
multiple-document interface (MDI) application. MDI child windows usually
receive messages from the GUI through delegation via the MDI client, i.e.
the MDI client window is set as the target for most GUI commands; the MDI
client filters out a few messages and forwards all other messages to the
active MDI child. MDI client can arrange the MDI child windows in various
ways:- it may maximize one of the MDI child windows, arrange them
side-by-side, cascade them, or iconify them. MDI child windows are notified
about changes in the active MDI child window by the MDI client.
Events
The following messages are sent by FXMDIClient to its target:
SEL_CHANGED: | sent when the active child changes; the message data is a reference to the
new active child window (or nil if there is none)
