When i change from mdi interface to tabbed windows, just nothing happens. Even better when i take another look at the same dialog after playing a bit in the editor window. It just shows that i havent changed anything.
Is it a trick or a bug?! ;-)
Best wishes,
lancent.

This option shouldn't be there :oops:
At the beggining of the project it used a tabbed interface for the editors. Later, when I switched it to MDI, I thought it would be cool to have both interfaces and let the user choose so I added this option. But I never really got the time to implement it, so that option should have been removed before I released it... It would avoid confusion.
Thanx for pointing out though.

I stumbled upon this old thread looking for an IDE/editor with an MDI interface to replace my aging codewright, and this thread gave me hope that code::blocks would support that (seems to be pretty much extinct for some reason anno 2013).
But unfortunately after installing it it seems to be (again) a tabbed interface.
Did the interface switch from MDI to tabbed again since 2004 ? Is there perhaps an old version available with an MDI interface I can use ? Is there maybe anno 2013 an option to switch between both of them that I could not find ?
Note: this is what I mean with MDI interface: http://imgur.com/5bqyWtr
Note2: I did find that I can have several tabbed interfaces in code::blocks , but that is not what I am looking for (much less flexible than what is possible with a real MDI interface).
BTW anybody any insight into why this type interface seems to have dissappeared? Some kind of technical difficulty ? Especially with multimonitor setups is becomes *really* easy to view many files simultaniously but your interface has to support it ....
