Questions Regarding Window Tiling

Hi everyone,

I recently updated my license to install the latest AmiBroker releases. I'm currently running 6.91.0, with four chart windows as shown here:

My preferences are set to 'Auto-arrange charts' and 'Auto-tile multiple chart windows'. I have noticed that selecting 'Window->Tile Horizontally' and 'Window->Tile Vertically' both produce the layout in the picture. The windows will not tile vertically.

The chart windows also do not resize when pinning/unpinning the Symbols window on the left, or when resizing the application window.

Is this how it is intended to work?

Thanks,
Alan

Tile Horizontally and Tile vertically is a feature implemented by MICROSOFT, inside Windows OS.
It does what it does:

  1. Upto 3 MDI frames - it tiles them either horizontally or vertically depending on what you selected
  2. From 4 MDI frames up, it tiles them the way you observed, regardless if you choosen vertically or horizontally.

MDI tiling is INTERNAL OS feature and complaints should be sent to Microsoft.

See WM_MDITILE Windows message docs:

Application programmer has no influence on how internal OS features work.
