This sample application demonstrates a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) notepad application. It also provides an introduction to menu creation.
The sample is comprised of a parent form, a child form, a modal dialog form, and two basic modules. You can use this sample application in conjunction with the SDINote sample application to understand the differences between interface styles. For more information, see "Creating a User Interface," in the Programmer's Guide.
