title: User Inteface problem: A way to get MDI Children to show up in taskbar?
body: <p>I'd like your advice on the following issue: We are studying different User Interface solutions for an Windows Forms application we are developing and we have come to the conclusion that the best solution seems to me a Single Document Interface the way MS Word does it: That is, each time we create a new document it will open in a new "main" window and the process is killed when all "main" windows are closed.</p>
  
  <p>However, the way MS Excel approaches the MDI interface is also interesting and, due to the way our application works, it could be a good solution. The problem is that this solution seems to be more complicated due to one main reason: Showing MDI Child Forms in the task bar.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is the following: can anybody give me some advice on how to get MDI Children to show up in the task bar. I'm almost certain there is absolutely no way to do it from the .NET Framework. I've been studying ways to go looking at the relevant Windows API but I don't seem to see an obvious way to try and get to what we want.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>I forgot to mention app targets mainly Win XP platform.</p>
