Multiple Document Interface

Abbreviated MDI, a Windows API that enables programmers to easily create applications with multiple windows. Each MDI application has a single main window, and any number of child windows. All child windows are displayed within the main window.

Although many programmers still use MDI, Microsoft recommends using a newer API called Single Document Interface (SDI).
