Managing menu options in MDI windows
The MDI windows must respect some constraints specific to the MDI applications. Three types of window are available: MDI mother, MDI daughter or MDI sister. The window that opens another window is called parent window ; the windows opened by the parent window are called child windows. All the child windows opened by the same parent window are sibling windows. The operations performed on the menu options are the same, no matter whether the menu belongs to an MDI window or not. However, additional features are available in the MDI windows: Note: For more details on menus and menu options, see: Overview WINDEV allows you to display some menu options in the MDI parent window only when an MDI child window is opened. Simply: - associate the menu options to display with a group.
- associate the MDI child window with this same group.
Example: The groups of menu options are used to manage the features proposed to the users according to their access rights. Remarks: - The same menu option can be displayed when opening several child windows. All you have to do is associate this option with several groups.
- In order for an option to be displayed regardless of the opened child window, no group must be associated with this option.
Associating a menu option with a group To associate a menu option with a group: - Go to the "UI" tab of the option description ("Option description" in the context menu of the option).
- Uncheck "Visible". The option will be automatically visible when the MDI child window is opened. Indeed, the visibility of the option is automatically managed by WINDEV.
- Click the "Group" button. The list of existing groups is displayed.
- Create a new group if necessary.
- Associate the option with the group (check the corresponding box).

Finding out which MDI child windows are opened Overview WINDEV allows you to display the title of the opened MDI child windows in the main menu of the MDI parent window. The title of the current window is preceded by a checkmark. To display one of the opened windows, all you have to do is select its title.
