MDI Client Template

The MDI Client Template is developed to make it easy to control the AppFrame PowerToolbar from any MDI child window.

With this template you can easily select a control from the AppFrame toolbar, and a button in a window that should be mimiced by the toolbar control. If a mimiced button is disabled or enabled, so will the toolbar control. This is very handy when you want your user to be able to control the browse in the active window, from the toolbar.

If this option is checked, the toolbar control will be disabled whenever this window loses focus. The button will be enabled when the window gains focus.

Under normal circumstances, you will not need to change these settings.
