I tried this and - with the first tests - it seems to work fine...

Oops, you are absolutely right!!!
That's the point!
I really should have seen that the extention of the window is 0, so it
would not disturb in any way and so I could just skip it... (and it's
quite irrelevant to check the dwStyle, etc.

Thanks a lot,

Michael
