SHORT QUESTIONS

- MDI advantages of MDI-Multiple document interface
An example of a multiple document interface layout
A multiple document interface (MDI) is a graphical user interface in which multiple windows reside under a single parent window. Such systems often allow child windows to embed other windows inside them as well, creating complex nested hierarchies. This contrasts with single document interfaces (SDI) where all windows are independent of each other.
ADVANTAGES:-
- An application’s child windows can be hidden/shown/minimized/maximized as a whole.
- Features such as “Tile” and “Cascade” can be implemented for the child windows.
APPLICATIONS OF MDI:-
- Internet Explorer 6
- Visual Studio 6
- Visual Studio .NET
- Opera
- Chrome
- SDI
In a Single Document Interface (SDI) application there is only one window in each instance of the application. If you want a second window you start a second complete instance of the application. Switching between windows happens at the operating system level when you switch between applications. In Microsoft Windows this means you that you use the Taskbar to select a different window, as all windows will have an icon in the taskbar.
- Exit control loop and entry control difference:-
EXIT CONTROL:-
Test condition appears at the beginning.
Control variable is counter variable
