I needed MDI support in my next app so i fixed the bug that stopped it re-drawing in the win32maxgui source, its not perfect as theres some activation problems and gadgets attrched to the parent window will screw it up but it works on the whole.

How to change;
1.Open up the Mod/Brl.Mod/win32maxgui.mod/wi32gui/win32window.cpp file
2. Change the line

wstyle=(wstyle&~WS_POPUP)|WS_CHILD;

to read

wstyle=(wstyle&~WS_POPUP)|WS_CHILD|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS;

3. Rebuild modules :)

I have no idea how linux or mac works though so dont even ask <_<.

Install MinGW, set your environment variables and use the command to "Rebuild All Modules" in the IDE. There are plenty of threads in the forums which describe how to do this. Have a look around...
