Remarks

This class works together with CMDIClientView and CMDITitleView. A MDI view must be a direct child of a CMDIClientView. That client view manages the MDI views and their z-order. CMDITitleView displays a the title of a MDI view. You normally don't create an instance of CMDITitleView. The CMDIClientView does that for you, when you attach the MDI view to the client view.

Like any other view a MDI view can contain child views. These child views are added to the so called 'client area'. The client area is surrounded by a border. You can request the size of the client area by calling the ClientRect method.

To speed up drawing the child views of a MDI view should set their view color to B_TRANSPARENT_COLOR and fill the view with the background color in their implementation of BView::Draw. If that isn't possible (e.g. because you are using a BeOS control) you must set the MDI_REDRAW_BELOW flag for the MDI view.

If your MDI view is maximizeable it should contain only one direct child. That child (ChildAt(0)) replaces the CMDIClientView when the MDI view is maximized.
