From: Cor Ligthert[MVP] on 5 May 2010 12:18 Armin, I did not even know it did exist, seems I've long time missed something. So I was not aware they removed it. Maybe that was the reason I had always trouble with the menus with MDI. Also nobody seen writing about this who was using betas Cor "Armin Zingler" <az.nospam(a)freenet.de> wrote in message news:edeSbzG7KHA.3184(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Am 05.05.2010 15:32, schrieb Cor Ligthert[MVP]: >> >> [...] > > ACK > >> I just tried a MDI and it is still there, I've seen no changed until now >> beside the ones you've showed. > > You mean creating an MDI form?

I do participate on the MS forums occasionally. But, I vastly prefer to use the simple text interface of nntp. >>> Armin >>> PS: Which linux distribution can you recommend? >> >> Gentoo is my personal favorite.

WPF doesn't support MDI - and VS2010's interface is written using WPF. It is always frustrating to loose functionality :( I can't agree on win7 though.

I am actually not suprised it's gone though - VS2010 uses wpf for the interface rendering. Currently, wpf does not support MDI interfaces. -- Tom Shelton

And BTW, I don't like Could you explain what you see as advantages of the MDI interface? Like the others, I have not used it so its removal went unnoticed by me. By the way, did you know that VS2010 has support for multiple monitors? Just drag any tab (window) out of VS to another monitor. Chris |
