If I understand correctly, you have an MDI app, but you can't 'hide' it to
show your full screen window? The only way to really do this reliably is by
setting the FullScreen property of your plain box to true.

Mind you I've only tried this with the DocumentWindow type, I don't know if
PlainBox windows behave differently on windows.

Be aware of a Bug (fixed in 5.5) which did not restore the MDI window
properly if you're switching the FullScreen windows out of fullscreen mode.
If you have that requirement and shoot me an email and I'll dig up the
workaround.

HTH,
Juergen
