Surely MDI not so bad? I have an ERP-type app and I have chosen a MDI UI model. The reason for this is to enable the user to multitask. Yes, many say that a user cannot multitask, but hear me out.

I have an app with a customized frame (i.e., caption/titlebar, borders). I customized the frame by removing the WS_CAPTION style, and overriding OnNcCalcSize to reserve a custom-sized area for the caption, which the app paints in OnNcPaint. A side effect is that the menu bar no longer displays, which is OK because I want to customize th...

What is the best way to avoid this? - Should i implement a taskbar to t...
