MDI stands for “Multiple Document Interface”. I have no idea what (Windows-specific) construct you are referring to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-document_interface




I am not Windows developer and sure I didn't know this "Windows-specific construct". But I can google https://www.google.com/search?q=Multiple+Top-Level+Windows+I...

Also I can look on the link I post and Ctrl+F "Multiple Top-Level Windows Interface"

> Microsoft Word 2003: MDI until Microsoft Office 97. After 2000, Word has a Multiple Top-Level Windows Interface, thus exposing to shell individual SDI instances, while the operating system recognizes it as a single instance of an MDI application.
