I think that during the WM_CREATE the HWND parameter in the call to the window procedure is valid for getting the size. I avoid using AdjustWindowRect and AdjustWindowRectEx because of the problem that you mention - incorrect results when a menu wraps to multi-line. > I am aware of the MinHeight property and the existance > of third-party components.
