Is there a tutorial of MDI Interfaces?

What does CreateMDIWindow do create a frame or a client?

Does DefFrameProc get called from the client?

The client is the child window inisde the frame right?

What does CreateMDIWindow do create a frame or a client?
It doesn't create a frame neither a client, but a mdi child window. From MSDN:
Using the CreateMDIWindow function is similar to sending the WM_MDICREATE (http:///library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/multipledocumentinterface/multipledocumentinterfacereference/multipledocumentinterfacemessages/wm_mdicreate.asp) message to an MDI client window

Does DefFrameProc get called from the client?
The frame (your main window) must call that function, the client window is a child window that does not even (at least it should not) have a procedure.

The client is the child window inisde the frame right?
Yes :) and the mdi child windows are child of the client window.

On the frame. The MDI client window is just a sort of container for MDI children window.
