If only there was a taskbar implementation that offered the feature to just group windows of the same process. I tried virtually every taskbar/dock implementation in existence and not a single one offer this. On a - now - side note, this whole SDI vs MDI discussion is useless. If you read articles about MDI vs SDI vs TDI (TDI? what a silly name differentiation!) they are very confusing/confused regarding the criterion that characterize them. BTW I've certainly seem some Borland dev call the old Delphi IDE a MDI. -Flávio -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
