You might have seen such options in many Windows applications under a Windows menu, such as Cascade, Tile Vertical, and so on. The parent (MDI) form organizes and arranges all the child forms or documents that are currently open. MDI applications allow you to open, organize, and work with multiple documents at the same time by opening them under the context of the MDI parent form therefore, once opened, they can’t be dragged out of it like an individual form. Hence, MDI applications follow a parent form and child form relationship model. SDI applications get opened only in their own windows and can become difficult to manage, unlike when you have multiple documents or forms open inside one MDI interface. Whereas having an individual window for each instance of the same application is termed as single document interface (SDI) applications such as Notepad, Microsoft Paint, Calculator, and so on, are SDI applications. Visualize the working style of an application in which you are allowed to open multiple forms in one parent container window, and all the open forms will get listed under the Windows menu. The Multiple-Document Interface (MDI) is a specification that defines a user interface for applications that enable the user to work with more than one document at the same time under one parent form (window).
