Hi all,


== Summary ==

I create a window with CreateWindow, supplying a certain position and size.
The WM_MOVE and WM_SIZE arrive with a slightly smaller position and size.
Why? How do I fix it?


== Details ==

- Custom window class, with style (CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW) and no menu

- CreateWindow called with style (WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE), the parent window
handle, and this position info:
--- x=865, y=407, width=19, height=19

- WM_MOVE arrives with x=867, y=409

- WM_SIZE arrives with width=14, height=14

- The non-client messages are passed directly through DefWindowProc, which
is not attempting to change the dimensions as far as I can tell.

- I have not asked for a border anywhere.

- The shrinkage seems to be a constant 5 pixels regardless of the size of
the window.


Help please!

My guess is the parent window has been defined to have a client
window edge, and so the size of the child is adjusted to make
room for this 3d edge.

Just a guess
