Here you can read more about MDI mode, and here you can find some interactive examples.
By default, QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD is not set.
To set QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD, define it with any non-empty value (though we recommend setting it to 1 - as below).
QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD applies at runtime and must be set in inet.env together with QX_MENU_WINDOW:
QX_MENU_WINDOW=1
QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD=1
To disable the New application button (and the corresponding menu option), you can either delete QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD or set it to an empty value:
QX_MENU_WINDOW_NEW_CHILD=
