Hi,

I don't think this is now possible with PureBasic: create an MDI client window, and MDI childs. Of course, you can do it using the API, but:

* Then you can't benefit from PB gadget functions, etc.
* You must code fifty lines more than it would be needed if you just had to write:

OpenWindow(whatever, #MDI,... )

or:

OpenMDIWindow(blah, blah... )

What about it, Fred?

Hi wavemaker
Yes, something like OpenMDIWindow() would be really great.. atm i am searching for a good mdi example, because i found somewhere some time ago an example but i dont really get it changed to use own gadgets inside ;(

PIII450, 256MB Ram, 6GB HD, RivaTNT, DirectX8.1, SB AWE64, Win2000 + all Updates...

you can actually. who told you you can't?
the needed WindowID() is the same as the returned window-handle...
there's shouldn't be any problem in mixing pb-gadgets and win-api.
am I missing something?

El_Choni wrote some code/examples for MDI stuff, just search for it on the forum, or @ Paul's resource site (I hope)

El_Choni is a nice guy and did a lot of work for the community regarding MDI (well actually not only MDI...)

Have a nice day...
