We are very happy with the way the development is going, and we will be able to accomplish detachable Chartbooks, where an entire Chartbook can be in its own window with multiple child windows.

Therefore, multiple instances of the multiple document interface.

It is also very clear, that bypassing the operating system title bars, solves us so many problems and gives us so much customizability.

We think a lot of the unusual behavior problems related to title bars, are all going to go away.

It just shows how "bad", the Windows OS is.

Another thing, is there will be, a true, and reliable, virtual area, in the main window in any detachable Chartbooks where, you will be able to specify as a percentage, how much larger the virtual area is, within the main window. For example 200%, and therefore you will have a scrollable area twice the size, of the main window and can scroll, all of the child chart windows around vertically and horizontally. This will all be user configurable, the percentage and whether you want this enabled or not.

The title bar, minimize, maximize/restore, and close boxes will follow, the Windows 7 classic appearance. So they may look different, then what you see in your own OS configuration.

This will all work perfectly and reliably. Not all of the garbage, we deal with with Windows. Once again, we see just how "bad" the Windows OS is, with virtually everything that they do.

Also, our own title bars are just about done and they should be done, by the middle of next week or possibly, this Friday.
