I need to create an application that can have numerous documents open on several (between 2 and 6) monitors. The current version of the application uses a traditional MDI interface which does not work well with multiple monitors. I am thinking of making an interface similar to GIMP/Delphi 7 which has a main program toolbar and all other documents/windows are opened but not limited to the window space of the parent form.

How can this be accomplished in .NET ? Come to think of it I dont remember if I have seen a native Windows app that works like this (Maybe the new Paint.NET but I forget). Can someone offer suggestions? Maybe a custom control/library or hopefully I can do this in vanilla .NET. Thanks!
