The App Wizard does indeed generate a complete MDI application. That is
what I used to generate a stub application with data maintenance forms.
Now I want to use the class designer to add other, more complex,
forms. I want these forms to be shown in MDI child windows like the
others.
Using:
frm = dabo.ui.createForm(filename)
frm.Parent = app.MainForm
frm.Show()
to instantiate the form gives me one with all of the DABO menus, ie. it
is not an MDI form like the App Wizard ones.
The attached pictures show this.
It looks like createForm() does not check the global MDI flag set in
<application name>.py:
if sys.platform[:3] == "win":
dabo.settings.MDI = True
