Document Windows
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio provides document windows for VSPackage implementers. You typically use a document window when you:
Need editors or edit controls.
Must persist information that is created or modified in a window.
Document windows are child windows of the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). The multiple document interface (MDI) can create multiple instances. Because document windows are confined to the MDI client area, document windows cannot be docked or float freely. For more information, see Window Management.
