I did notice that the explanation was rather vague to say the least. I found
other definitions but they were not very easy to understand. The answers
that I have gotten from a few of my friends that in Microsoft Word the
parent window is the application itself and the child window is say the
document window. In this case the parent window is the main window in which
there is a secondary window to allow the user to insert data which can not
be moved outside the parent window. This document window where you insert
text is the child window. I don't know if that helps but that is the
explanation that my friend gave me who is a computer programming student. I
apologize if it doesn't help.

It's not your fault, but do you notice that this explanation does not simply
say "a pop-up window on a Web site is one of many versions of a child
window."
Sorry. but I'm a professional writer, whose salaried work over the years
included specifically being a technical writer at times, as well as doing
corporate communications, public relations work and journalism. And so I'm
uncomfortably aware when things are simply missing from explanations, as
here. Please understand this is not to criticize you, at all. Thanks.

I have found this definition of child windows on a website and thought I would post it here for everyone to look over. Child windows are windows that are opened either automatically or as a result of some user activity when using a parent window. They can range in functionality from the very simple to the full complement of controls. Some annoying pop-up windows that appear when visiting some websites purposely lack buttons for closing them.
If you would like to check out the website that I found this information for
your own descriptions of other components of an operating system I have
provided the url to where I found the above information. There is a lot of
information on this page.
I hope this helps.

Interesting. But they might have thought to provide some examples.
obviously, they do not mean a document. But what, then. They should
hire a
technical writing staff, not do this themselves.

Subject: child window
this is what Igot from hj pad.
In some applications, a separate window is used which is not attached to the main application, or parent window. This window is called the child window. The child window can be sized, moved or closed within the main application without altering the state of the main application window.
