MDI Controls

The LG System Inc. suite of applications are based on a "master" window where user windows are opened, used and closed.

This approach allows one toolbar and one menu to control many data entry screens (or windows). You can also open multiple instances of your data entry screens. If you run a report and return to the report parameters or data entry screen, your report window still remains and you can return to it by clicking the icon for the report viewer.

Naturally, when you run another report, your original report is replaced.

MDI (Multiple Document Interface) is a Microsoft technology, and is commonly seen in their applications, such as Word and Excel, where you can open multiple documents in one instance of the application.
