Hello,

I have a problem with my window. I create a statusbar at the bottom
and then I call
ShowScrollBar (hwnd, SB_BOTH, FALSE). When I set the scroll info, the
scrollbars are shown, but - the horizontal is _below_ the statusbar
(instead above as I expected) and the vertical scrollbar overlaps the
statusbar (instead ending above).

What did I wrong? What have I to do to get the expected behaviour?

Thanks,
Gerd

Your window does not "know" about the status bar at the bottom and does
not automatically adjust for it. You have to do all that yourself. (Or
use MFC, which does it for you.)

Create a main window, for the titlebar, menu and frame. It should not
have scroll bars. Then create child windows inside the main window.
One child window is the status bar. Another child window will be the
drawing area, with the scroll bars. Resize and position the child
windows in main's WM_SIZE so they do not overlap each other.

Thanks for your explaination.

Which window class would I have to use for this?

You make your own with RegisterClassEx(). System-defined class names
are only good for creating controls dynamically.

You mean, I do it the same way like I create my main- (desktop-)
window (but without title, sysmenu, border etc)? With it's own message
function? Do I need an extra message loop for it?
