The multiple document interface (MDI) is handy when your program needs to open multiple documents of the same kind. Peter Aitken shows how to take advantage of the MDI support built right into the .NET Framework.

MDI can be implemented badly, and it can be quite confusing to novices ("do I click the top or the bottom X?") - and then there's office2k, which couldn't decide to be mdi or sdi. But implemented well, it's quite useful - especially when working with many files in one program. Opera and EditPlus are good examples, they essentially have their own taskbars.
