Window Style Property
Description
Specifies whether the window is a Document window or a Dialog window. Document and dialog windows are displayed differently on window managers that support a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) system of window management.
Applies to window

Restrictions:
Valid only for a secondary window. (A root window is always a document window.)
Usage Notes
- MDI applications display a default parent window, called the application
window. All other windows in the application are either document
windows or dialog windows.
- Document windows always remain within the application window frame. If the
operator resizes the application window so that it is smaller than a document
window, the document window is clipped. An operator can maximize a document
window so that is occupies the entire workspace of the application window.
- Dialog windows are free-floating, and the operator can move them outside
the application window if they were defined as Movable. If the operator resizes
the application window so that it is smaller than a dialog window, the dialog
window is not clipped.
