what is the difference between SDI and MDI

Answer Posted / shakuntala

The full answer is available in MSDN, but in a nutshell SDI or a single document interface is a window that can only handle one document at a time per window. An example of an SDI is Notepad (you can only edit one text file per Notepad window. If you want to edit two files, you need two Notepad windows).

An MDI or multiple document interface is a window that can handle more than one document at a time (usually by creating subwindows). An example of an MDI is Visual Studio. You can have multiple Cpp files open in the same Visual Studio window (you navigate through each CPP file by using the tabs, or the Window menu). Most (but not all) MDIs implement a tabbed style interface similar to Visual Studio to navigate between documents.
