If I understand you correctly, what you're after is MDI ("Multiple 
Document Interface"), one of four windowing models specified in the Win HIG:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch10a.asp>

Support for MDI has been requested at Bugzilla:
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1928>

But if you examine the behaviors of MDIs as implemented in multiple 
applications, you'll find them varying quite a bit and perhaps 
ultimately confusing to the user.

Maybe a better approach to get your app running now would be to explore 
other options to provide the same benefits you were looking for with MDI.

What is the end-user benefit of these constraints in your app?
