Hello everyone. I would like to understand if it is possible to create a WEB application, based on SDI form, and make sure that by opening the FORMS, these do not "go out" from the browser going around the whole desktop! it seems quite abnormal behavior; I can't (and don't want to) use an MDI, but I don't understand how to get around this problem.

Thanks.

You can do SDI with PowerServer.  As Chris mentioned, the window opens outside of the Web browser.

Hi Alessandro;

  Here is an example of a web App that I built for Passport Canada that looks like a modern SDI App in the web browser but it's all built using one MDI Frame.

 

Here is how I did it ...

ok. I understand this but :

1. Some features for MDI are too OLD STYLE! 

2. I Need to use the background area as a container for dynamic dashboard ( with MDI i can't)

 3. Width MDI I must Use a menu and i don't wat to see a menu un top.

In few words i dont't want a web application like a WINXP application and with SDI i'm free to build a lot of customized object for my application

Hi Alessandro;

   Tip:  With PowerServer Web, you must use an MDI Frame window as your SDI base App window so that the App remains inside the Web Browser.  ;-)
