MDI Programming with MiniGui [Updated 12th March 2009]

Having pushed the very stable HMG to it's limits and as documented in my previous articles, I was encouraged by Sudip and decided to take a serious look at HMG Extended ie MiniGui as most of the apps that I have in mind must be MDI in nature..

This is what I started With


What did I do Next ?

I took the codes from FAS4HMG and copied the Project folder under the MiniGui folder. I was then able to recompile it as a MIDI apps with some minor adjustments.
