MDIClient object

An MDI window is a frame window in which you can open
multiple document windows (sheets) and move among the sheets.

An MDIClient object is the area in which open sheets display
in a standard MDI frame. In a standard MDI window, PowerBuilder
sizes the MDIClient so that it fills the space inside the frame.
For example, if the frame has a menu bar and MicroHelp, the MDIClient
fills the space between the sides of the frame and the space below
the menu bar and above the MicroHelp.

In a custom MDI window, you determine the size of the client
area. For example, when a frame has buttons below the menu bar in
the frame, you size the client area so it begins below the buttons.

An MDIClient object has no associated events.
