Closing document window inside of the MDI

We have just one "document" window open inside of the Forms run-time application window. Does anyone know how to close this document window without closing the whole application?
Thank you very much.

Bogdan,
we are trying to close the sole document window we have inside of our MDI application, leaving the application itself open. By comparison, you can leave MS Word application window open without having any document windows in it. I am starting to doubt it's possible at all in Forms. To re-phrase the question, is having at least one document window open at all times a requirement for MDI application?
Thank you.

I understand that the one document window is the main window of the form that is curenntly running and that you have one only form running. Closing that window you close that form, so how would the application know any better then closing.
Please be more specific as to what you really need to do.
Best wishes,

Is there a way to make Photoshop CC keep document windows inside the application window?

I've been a Photoshop user for a long time now, but only recently made the switch from CS3 to Creative Cloud. Generally I really like the changes, but there is one thing I absolutely hate with a passion - the default window management. I often want to arrange my windows side by side, so I disabled the tab mode, but the problem with doing this is that the windows are not managed inside Photoshop as they used to be in CS3. The biggest problem I have is that windows are not contained inside the Photoshop application frame as they used to be. I much prefer the old behaviour and wonder if there is some kind of option to reenable it.
Anyone know? I notice the Mac version has something called application frame, which sounds like what I need, but it's Mac only for some reason :/

I'm not a Mac user so don't know what menu it comes under, but Aplication Frame is what turns that feature on and off. Either Window or View menu would be my guess

Document windows opening under the options bar

Argh! anyone know how to get the windows from NOT opening under the options bar? I have to zoom the window each time so I can access the document bar and it is driving me MAD!!!!See how my top gray document bar is hidden?? If I hit the zoom out then it pops under the control bars.

Probably because both the application bar and tool options bar are not docked, they are free floating in you screenshot.
For example move the application bar up towards the apple menu until you see a thin blue line and then let go and do the same for the tool options bar.

Shortcut? Closing one window and not the program.

How can i increase the number of items saved under recently closed tabs & windows heading in the history menu?

love this feature but need longer list

See:

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How can I open a document with applescript without the doc. window opening.

How can I open a document with applescript without opening the document window and speak the text of the document? I can get it to open the file but the doc window always opens up.

try
          set pathToMyFolderOnDesktop to ("Macintosh HD:Users:jodyconnor:Desktop:") & "Dsource:" as alias
          set rnd to (random number from 1 to 6)
          set rndFileName to (rnd as text) & ".scpt"
          set FullPath to pathToMyFolderOnDesktop & rndFileName as text
          set myScript to load script (FullPath as alias)
run script myScript
on error the error_message number the error_number
          display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          return
end try
This code answered my question: Hats off to Digimonk from stackoverflow and Darrick Herewe from stackoverflow.

Maximizing a floating document window makes the entire UI inaccessible

On Windows 7, with Photoshop CS6, if you drag a document tab out of the main application window, it becomes a floating document with its own window controls for minimize, maximize, and close just like a normal Windows OS document should. However, if you click the maximize window button, instead of maximizing within the primary application window like document windows are supposed to... the Photoshop document window expands to the full screen and covers up all user interface elements of the primary Photoshop application window. This makes all user interface elements completely inaccessible. Pressing the tab key will not show your tools like you'd expect, though shortcut keys still work.
The only way to get the user interface back is to restore the document window to a smaller size. If this is a feature, what would it be used for? Why do document windows in CS6 need to behave differently from the normal behavior of application and document windows on the Windows operating system?

If Adobe were to make the document "maximize" into the application window, there would no doubt be people who want to see it on the whole screen and are used to the way it works in Photoshop CS5 who would be upset. Plus, that's just not what the Maximize button on a window is supposed to do.
Your workaround is to avoid the Maximize button entirely and use the right-click Fit on Screen function (which really fits to document to the application window) or the keyboard equivalent - Control 0.

How to trap the document window activate event?

Hi All,
I am working with a plugin development application. My requirement is, at any time I may have more than one document opened. The plugin window what I have designed gets populated with data from the xml file attached with the current document. Therefore whenever I switch between the document window, I need the plugin window to be refreshed so that it will load/display the contents from the current xml file.
For this I need to trap the activate document window event. So whenever a window is selected from the current list of opened windows, then the plugin should get refreshed automatically.
Actually, I tried inheriting the CWindowEH class and I used the kDocWindowBoss class for the same. But the event is not firing as expected. Help/tips from anyone could be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
JR.

Hi, I don't think having observers on kDocBoss and kDocumentListBoss should be a problem. We do exactly that. Just running with a couple of break points in your code, do you hit the DocListObserver::AutoAttach and not the Update(). If you don't hit the AutoAttach breakpoint then it's probably the resource is not set up right. Ours is like this.. /** Observes document list actions. */ AddIn { kDocumentListBoss, kInvalidClass, { IID_IMYDOCLISTOBSERVER, kMyDocListObserverImpl, } }, If you're getting to the AutoAttach but not the Update then it may be that you're not specifying what notifications you wish to receive. Our AutoAttach is like this.. do { InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject( this, UseDefaultIID()); if (subject != nil) { if ( subject->IsAttached(this, IID_IDOCUMENTLIST, IID_IMYDOCLISTOBSERVER) == kFalse ) subject->AttachObserver(this, IID_IDOCUMENTLIST, IID_IMYDOCLISTOBSERVER); } } while ( kFalse ); with equivalent DetachObserver code in the AutoDetach of course.

How do I get more space in a "Documents" window?

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I recently upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9. When I open, for example, the "Documents" window and find the page is full with folders/files I place the arrow cursor in the bottom right hand corner and move the window up. I then pull the scroll bar down, place the arrow cursor in the bottom right hand corner and pull the window down. Under 10.3.9 the folders/files would stay where they were and I would get more free space. Under 10.4.9 it doesn't do that; pulling the window down means pulling everything else down as well. So the window remains full with folder/files all the time. Is there a way of changing it as it was under 10.3.9?

Open the window, hit the end key, and expand the window, via the lower right-hand corner triangle. Works here and always has in Tiger. If that doesn't work on your machine, then I suspect a corrupt preference file. Create a new admin user account, log into, and see if the problem exists there. If not, then it's one of the preference files listed in the new account's /Library/Preferences/ folder that's screwy. Make a list of them, log back into the old account, move the same one's, one at a time, to the Desktop, OPTION-click the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch. Do that until you isolate the one's that are causing the problem. Start with the com.apple.finder.plist.

Shortcut for activating editor when one selects something in document window?

Hello to the people who know Dreamw. a bit better then me....
I just try to find a trick that maybe anyone knows out here?
When you select some text in the document window, you see the
cursor at that place in the code-editor. Is there a shorthand to
activate the editor at that point? Now i have to click in the
editor if i decide to work directly in the code. It could be
usefull: searching and locating in the document window and then
with a shortcut continuing to write in the editor.
Thanks for any help

I just click on the 'thumb' in the scrollbar for code
view....

InDesign document window blinking!

Document window keeps blinking interrupting workflow. Thought it was a CC 2014 bug but I went back to ID CC and it started again. It's driving me crazy. The border of the window blinks and causes a hesitation in whatever you're trying to do. I can't work this way. Ready to toss the computer!!!

My IndDesign CC 2014 is doing exactly the same thing. Intermittent — almost rhythmic — blinking of the document window frame coinciding with a deactivation of whatever I'm trying to do when it happens. For instance, I try to select a font, so I click open the font menu and get ready to click on the desired font when suddenly the document window blinks and the font menu closes. Or, say I'm creating a text box. I select the text tool, click and hold at the top left corner and begin dragging to the bottom left corner. Then, the document window blinks again and the box I'm trying to create disappears. I've tried trashing preference and saved data, clearing the InDesign cache, and shutting down Suitcase Fusion 5. None of it has helped. Filing a report now.

Float/Untab Document Windows

Is there any way to make it possible to float document windows properly, like you can for every other piece of the software? By that I mean not locked within the parent window of the app. This was the default for dreamweaver for the longest time, then IIRC there was a lawsuit from adobe claiming Macromedia had stolen the idea from the photoshop interface, so Macromedia got rid of it... then adobe bought them and the old, easier to use with multiple screens format hasn't returned, so far as I can tell.
Does anyone know a way? I know it's not officially supported in dreamweaver* for some reason I can't fathom, but maybe some change in a config file somewhere? And if not.. why on earth isn't it supported? I want to be able to have two pages open to compare the code without having to jump through hoops.
*http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WS8599BC5C-3E44-406c-9288-C3B3BBEB5E88.ht ml
Note: Dreamweaver does not support docking and undocking Document windows. Use the Document window’s Minimize button to create floating windows (Windows), or choose Window > Tile Vertically to create side-by-side Document windows.

Closing the MDI Window...

Hi Guys,
I have a set of 10 forms which are being called from a
another form through Forms Menu. Lets take the scenario as Form
A opens Form B via "Open Form". From there on using Forms Menu,
Form B opens the rest of the 8 forms using "Call Form". My
requirement is that incase the MDI Window is closed all the
forms should get closed along with it. Suppose I open Form E
from Menu of Form B (Call Form) and then Open Form D from Menu
of Form C (Call Form). Currently if I have to close the
application, I have to indivisually close all the forms. So If
there are 5 forms open I have to close the MDI Window five
times. Is there a method by which on click of a single button
the Application as a whole should close, instead of user having
to closde all the forms individually.
Please help me if any body has done this before. Is there a
way to find the process id of the current forms session at the
Windows level, in which case I can right a C++ progam to kill
the process itself.
Please reply asap...
Regards,
Vcrum...
