If you have windows 10 and are not using the high contrast color scheme, would you please try the example program that comes with masm32 and let me know what color the title bar of the child window you get when you press the first button?   I'm getting a light blue gray that clashes horribly with the rest of my color scheme, and I can't seem to find anyway in windows 10 to tell it to do otherwise.

masm example is at:

If it is just a problem of look,try to change his colors in the WNDCLASSEX structure

MDI windows are only partially supported in Windows 10.
Child windows have old style title bar.

After much searching, I can nothing from Microsoft that it has deprecated MDI.  Only some conjecture from non Microsoft sources.  The most I can find is-

QuoteMany new and intermediate users find it difficult to learn to use MDI applications. Therefore, you should consider other models for your user interface. However, you can use MDI for applications which do not easily fit into an existing model.

If they don't fix support for MDI in Windows 10, what is the suggested replacement?  I can't find any consensus on the matter.
