Cascade, Tiles, Arrange all, Minimize all
These are default options for a program with an MDI. I'm not gonna explain this. If you don't know what these options do, please refer to a windows manual.
Arrange to fit
One of the most powerful windows options I've ever seen is the Arrange to fit method. It works quite simple. The concept is that you ALWAYS have an overview of ALL child windows you've opened. See figure 26 to see what I mean.
Figure 26. Arrange to fit.
The concept
Here you see the Arrange to fit feature in action. All windows that are minimized have the same size as the active window. This means you can ALWAYS get to ANY file you've opened. When you e.g. would double click all minimized windows, no minimized windows would be shown anymore. Executing the arrange to fit will result in the active window to fit the screen correct again and the other windows will be minimized again.
That's it, try it, I'm sure you'll love it!
Minimize
Minimizes the active child.
Normalize
Normalizes the active child, i.e. that the active child will not be minimized nor maximized, but will have the 'default' window properties.
