- GeekyBear 5y agoYet Win32 programs still conflate closing a document with closing the application to this day.
- whatever1 5y agoI do not follow. I have two excel documents open. Each is presented to the user like an independent excel app. So in my windows taskbar there will be two excel icons stacked. If I hover I will get a quick preview of all of the excel instances that are open. If I close one document the excel instance that is running that window will close too. The other instance of excel with its document will remain unaffected.
- GeekyBear 5y agoHave you not noticed all the comments complaining that Macs see closing a document and closing a program as two separate things, while Windows still does not? Edit: It wasn't until Office 2007 that some Microsoft apps (but not others) started breaking the Win32 MDI UI.
