Attached is an example MDI applications. One top level window which encapsulates the WHOLE application. Yet has multiple "document" windows open, but they can ONLY live inside the bounds of the main window. There is also one "document" window iconified (bottom left). All those document windows can be tiled vertically or horizontally. After doing that, they will still only be in the bounds of the main form. Delphi 7 IDE is *not* like that, hence SDI interface.
