public class SDIApplication
extends AbstractApplication

SDIApplication handles the lifecycle of multiple Views using a Windows single document interface (SDI).

This user interface created by this application follows the guidelines given in the Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines.

An application of this type can open multiple Views. Each view is shown in a separate JFrame.

Each JFrame contains a menu bar, toolbars and palette bars for the views.

The life cycle of the application is tied to the JFrames. Closing the last JFrame quits the application. SDIApplication handles the life cycle of a single document window being presented in a JFrame. The JFrame provides all the functionality needed to work with the document, such as a menu bar, tool bars and palette windows.

The life cycle of the application is tied to the JFrame. Closing the JFrame quits the application.
