		<description>I got my Tybee Island snowglobe confiscated at the Savannah Georgia airport yesterday!  I never even thought that it would be a problem.  It was a small one, very cute.  Didn't realize it would be considered weaponry.</description>

		<title>Comment on Why Doesn&#8217;t WPF Support MDI? by chuck</title>

		<description>I’ve been thinking for weeks on how to covert a line-of-business application that is MDI to non-MDI. I can’t think of a good way.

I think this (http://laurenlavoie.com/avalon/70) post had only excuses you make when want to cover your bum. I didn’t see anything in it that was reasonable.  It's 2008 now and MS doesn't have an example of MDI.

I think the WPF Team didn’t do MDI because they didn’t know how to do it well. The WPF framework/model is not great at everything. Fine Control of Windows is one example.

Of course the old Windows models weren’t that great either. You always had to do lots of API code and kludge arounds if you wanted to handle multiple monitors, figure out working areas when tool bars were involved, handle mulitple monitors position changes, handle changes in resolution, or center dialog boxes over a MDI window.  You can kludge around with interop, but you still have the original MDI issues.</description>

		<description>First of all, that was not even an attack.  Second of all, you are so desperate to label me as a typical Obama supporter that you didn't even to read my post.  All I was doing was telling you that I don't appreciate being generalized.  Instead, you accuse me of acting like a thug when you know nothing about me.  And please don't act like the Clinton supporters are victims of the evil Obama Nation, or Hillary is so honest and square dealing.  In fact, let's be really honest; none of these three candidates have any executive experience.  It's one thing to write a bill, it's another to enforce that bill, and no, being first lady doesn't count.  There's a big difference between being the wife of a President and being a President.  Besides, Bush had executive experience and look how well that turned out.  So before you attack me, read my post and understand that I am just having a conversation whether you want to believe that or not.</description>

		<description>Thisisntme is responding to my post and to a recent fox interview, Lauren.  This is a typical attack from another Obama supporter...which are rampant these days.  

In fact, this is the same type of attack Clinton and McCain supporters have received since the beginning of the campaign when someone disagrees with their choice of presidential candidate.  I've received much worse in fact; and yet they still amaze me...as I simply state, I will not vote for Obama.  

I intend to vote for either Hillary or McCain and thus am tagged a 'racist' by those who cannot stand to see their 'chosen one' refuted in any way.  Again, the attacks are really common; in fact, a Clinton supporter in Charleston, WV has 3 bullets in his van after being shot by individuals shouting ‘Obama.’  The picture of his van was on CNN.

To answer the Obama supporters questions, who have so kindly linked my name to a sleazy question just to boost their google status for Obama donations, I have donated to Clinton; thousands in fact.  Against the advice of my accountant, a McCain supporter.  

Furthermore, I have and will donate to McCain and that will be an aggressive donation on my part.  It is detestable that these supporters aren’t satisfied with attacking Clinton alone.  They must also attack her supporters now as well.  But, John McCain will reap the rewards of these sour grapes; which, I might add, makes GREAT WINE. 

As stated on Neil Cavuto, I will never vote for Obama.  Prior to going on the show, many other Clinton supporters, from all over the country, sent their opinion to me so I could present their views and just feelings.   And, they were all unanimous.  NOBAMA.  The reason is simple, the Obama supporters, the media and the ‘One’ himself are simply too nasty.  The sleazy Chicago thieves have left a sour taste in our mouths.

In fact, many state they will write in Clinton, even if it goes uncounted.  Still others will vote for McCain and there are a few who will even stay home.  The harsh feelings have come from what some in the Clinton camp are calling ‘bullying by the Chicago thugs’ that have turned them from the Democratic party for good.  They made their bed…

As I stated on the previous two blogs, when you see attacks by the Obama supporters, one must wonder what the dangers are of this cult like following.  This is just the beginning of the mass worshiping...as soon it very well may become an Obama-nation

Last thought, will the real thisisntme please stand up?  If you are a true hero and someone to be believed, put yourself 'out there' like a real woman..rather than hide behind anonymoty.</description>

		<description>I find it insulting that you accuse Obama supporters of drinking kool-aid.  As an Obama supporter, I am aware of who and what Obama is and what he stands for, good and bad.  But in the end, I still believe he is the best candidate.  Now before you call him an empty suit, maybe you should look at his accomplishments, like the Coburn-Obama Tranparency Act, or the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Proliferations Act.  Obama has done a lot in ethics reform as a State Senator and as a US Senator.  In fact, why don't you look at his website and see what he's about instead of labeling Obama supporters and spewing anti-Obama rhetoric for Fox News.  I can do the same thing you are doing and call you a typical Clintonite; bitter, whiny, and delusional, but I won't.  So before you campaign for John McCain, (Obama will be the nominee and Hillary won't) ask yourself, do you really want to vote for guy that voted AGAINST equal pay for women?  I could get into the war and tax cuts, but's a dead horse.  Anyway, I advise you to actually do some research on Obama, and if you have, check again, because apparently you missed a bunch of information.</description>

		<description>We're still alive almost 10 months later, so I think it was okay. But that's certainly worth keeping in mind for next time! (BTW, we had this happen again just last month when we were at my mother-in-law's house for Passover. Beware Pyrex!)</description>

		<description>Hello, this is one of the best post about MDI even nowadays.
Well best would be to allow the MDI to be so extensible that the developer could choose/implement the behavior like Firefox or Excel.
I'm not very big fan of interop, but I definitely would like to see real windows managed by OS as well.

The docking/floating part is separate story (at least for the interop way), and there should by styling available to adjust the look of the tool windows. Also as rei mentioned, multiple monitors scenario should be supported, although I don't think MDI windows should be draggable out of the parent window (except the tool windows of course).
