Rony Gellaerts | Tim,
Is it possible to: 1) Add a 'Word wrap' checkbox to the SQL editor, so we don't need the horizontal scrollbar anymore to view the whole line. 2) Turn the tabpages into MDI windows. This makes it possible to view more then one window (SQL, properties, ...) at the same time. Thanks in advance, Rony Gellaerts |

<< 1) Add a 'Word wrap' checkbox to the SQL editor, so we don't need the horizontal scrollbar anymore to view the whole line. >> Yes, this is already on the list, and will probably make it in the next minor release when I do some architectural improvements to the editor. << 2) Turn the tabpages into MDI windows. This makes it possible to view more then one window (SQL, properties, ...) at the same time. >> This is a definite no. MDI is really not something that is supported well anymore in Delphi/Windows, and trying to do so would be problematic. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Unless you consider the desktop the container Both of them create separate SDI instances with their own button on the taskbar. I don't know the correct terminology but I don't think its MDI.

Maybe Tim can achieve the 'functionality' by using floating and dockable panels ? Rony Gellaerts |

David Cornelius Cornelius Concepts | Just read several MDI discussions on stackoverflow.com. I guess there's so
much advantage to NOT using them and some confusion when they are used, they're not being used much anymore. I was more curious than anything and have found them useful at times. I would've like to see them in EDB Manager for more layout flexibility, but it's not a biggie. David Cornelius Cornelius Concepts |

That'll teach me to open my big mouth I now realise I last updated my Office Suite in 2007. A quick search on the web gave me this If you double click files to open them, they will usually all open in the one instance of Excel. Excel is still an MDI (multiple document interface) application which only simulates New SDI (single document interface) by listing all its child windows on the Task Bar. It still keeps all its child windows within the MDIParent window. Compare this to Word's behaviour which is truly New SDI. Roy Lambert |

How do you close one of the workbooks? I can't see any system buttons on the individual books. Roy Lambert |

David Cornelius Cornelius Concepts | There are "X"s in the upper-right of each MDI window. The one upper-right
corner that you can see, is inactive, so it hid the min/max/close buttons. The active window is moved off the right to show that it is not over the main application, but inside it. Only the minimize button is showing. David Cornelius Cornelius Concepts |
