| Do I need to worry about the anchoring and scrolling capabilities of every form I create? |
|
Definition
| No. The majority of forms in most applications are dialog boxes. Which is a modal form used to gather data from the user. A dialog box is usually of a fixed size, which means that its border style is set to a style that can't be sized. With a fixed-size form, you don't need to worry about anchoring or scrolling. |

| How do I know whether a project is a candidate for a MDI interface? |
|
Definition
| If the program will open many instances of the same type of form, that project is a candidate for a MDI interface. For example, if you're creating an image-editing program and the intent is to enable the user to open many images at once, MDI makes sense. Also, if you'll have many forms that will share a common toolbar and menu, you might want to consider MDI. |
