Windows MDI depricated in 2017?

[bbanelli]

Greetings to all,

is there any particular reason why one would not user MDI interface in PB (that is, Windows'es Multiple Document Interface (MDI))? I have an application (business software) that I am about to start building and this concept seems perfect, but I can't shake the feeling that somewhere I've read that MDI interface is/will going to be deprecated in some time on Windows platform? Is that correct? Is there any particular reason why one should avoid that interface if it provides all needed for the task?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts,

Bruno

my thoughts - 1) its deprecated since 15+yrs ago so i wouldnt personally like dealing with the 'different' behavior on Win10 etc - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3195 ... windows-10
and 2) its Windows only might make it really tricky if you want the possibility to expand to other OS

It's Windows only app, no doubt in that. Idm using more "dependable" stuff than MDI library. Graphical "glitches" are far from important, that's for sure. I was just worried that Microsoft wouldn't drop support from MDI in some of their W10 updates any time...
