Greetings.

Anyone out there writing MDI applications?

I would like to begin corresponding to someone working
with MDI in order to exchange ideas, commiserate on problems, etc.

I've been working on a fairly large MDI app for some time
and could use the perspectives of another also living this nightmare.

In the mean time, I am wondering how Microsoft Excel (tm) creates
the row of push buttons directly below the Menu bar.  These buttons
are most certainly part of the Client area, but i'm wondering how
to prevent the MDICREATE from taking over the entire client area,
thereby slamming the buttons.

Does this make any sense?  

I look forward to hearing from somebody out there.

Best regards,
Thomas Dayton
