• added: support for MDI forms!
• added: Sample 19. MDI Forms
• added: project setting 'Project: Target OS Version' for targetting an executable for a particular OS version
• NOTE: StartUpPosition is supported for MDI Child forms in twinBASIC (e.g. vbStartupOwner for center of the MDI Client area). Default value on import from VBP is vbStartupWindowsDefault which is the equivalent enforced setting by VB6
• NOTE: Unlike VB6, we allow any controls on the MDI form - docking is optional. Undocked controls will appear on-top of MDI child forms.
• NOTE: PictureBox.Align is supported for back-compat reasons, but is hidden with the newer general use Dock property being preferred
• NOTE: Picture property is supported on MDI form, but will not currently display in the form designer
• NOTE: the debug session currently always operates with target OS 5.1 (WinXP+)
• NOTE: MDI child windows can use Opacity/TransparencyKey properties only if you specify target OS >= 6.0
• NOTE: MDI child windows will always have a thick border regardless of BorderStyle property when target OS is >= 6.0
• NOTE: there are currently no checks made to ensure you only have one MDI Form in the project. This restriction will be added soon.
• NOTE: there will definitely be issues around loading/showing/hiding MDI children in this release.
• NOTE: known issue: the designated WindowList menu is not always up-to-date

does twinbasic will do datareport control?
last time i try,it's maybe 1998 VERSION,AND it can't support Different pictures are displayed on each print subject. For example, printing everyone's business card and reading information from the database, he can only display one picture. Or turn the record set of multiple data into a single one, then query it for 100 times, save 100 pictures on the hard disk, and open the report for printing in 100 times.
