Could anyone point me at a good explanation of the differences between
the
SDI (single document interface) and MDI (multiple document interface)
for Win32 with particular reference to managing the menubar.
In my application I continually open and close windows (eg splash
screen, menu screen and game screens).
Sometimes I open modal windows over a document window (to show help, set
options etc).
I want my main windows to have access to the menubar but am having
trouble with getting it to work properly.
I did think that MDI as the way to go. Menubar always available however
with a window size of 800x600 all my full sized document windows end up
with scrollbars and not showing exactly what I want on the screen.
SDI fixes this but has the problem that not all windows have access to
the menubar.
Help!
Thanks

PS when my project is finished I will try to put together a document on
all I have learned about compiling Win32 apps. So far have had lots of
success but some real (pun sort of intended) problems as well.
