RE: [platform-swt-dev] SDI in SWT possible ?

["Scott Stanchfield" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An MDI implementation of a UI consists of parent windows that can control
several subwindows. The subwindows could be moved/resized freely (as in
pixel-by-pixel dragging) within the parent window, and possibly
docked/maximized/minimized within the parent window. The child windows
typically could not be moved outside the parent window (if they could be
moved out, the app is a hybrid of MDI and SDI...)

Note that this might sound like Eclipse, but it's not. Eclipse is an SDI app
with "pages" and "panes" inside windows. You cannot drag the "panes" like
child windows.

The parent window _could_ use tabs to organize "maximized" subwindows, but
that's really a matter of desktop/window management...
