I have a couple of questions

1.What is the difference between the SDI interface and the MDI interface?

2."Object Oriented programming and Event Driven programming are the same thing" What does this statement mean?

Thanks to any one who can help.

I can handle the first one, but I don't have a definitive answer for the second.

SDI == Single Document Interface. One window, basically.
MDI == Multiple Document Interface. You have a "main" window that has several smaller ones inside. Only the main window has a taskbar button, usually. Like Word and such used to be before MS switched to letting each open doc be its own window (complete with taskbar button)

Personally, I don't think object-oriented programming and event driven programming are the same thing. You can certainly use objects when dealing with event-driven programming, but they're not quite the same thing.

HTH,
