I didn't look at gb.form.mda at the moment, but here is a few remarks 
anyway :-)

This SetResizable() method may be replaced by something better in the future. 
Maybe Fabien and you should not use the IDE to test the gb.form.mda 
component, but a fake MDI program.

Once the gb.form.mda code is bug free, it will be easier to have the same 
interface between gb.form.mdi and gb.form.mda component.

The problem with the SetResizable() concept is that is does not mean that the 
child window *must* be resizable, but that the Workspace should add support 
to resize it inside the child window border (look at the vb6 interface).

The difference between gb.form.mda and gb.form.mdi should be that:
- In gb.form.mdi, the windows are always maximized, and you can add a support 
for resizing the child window *inside* the window border.
- In gb.form.mda, the windows can be resized, but this is independant from the 
fact that some child windows can be resized inside the border.
