I can't figure out how to implement scrolling in a sensible
manner. I want to have a window that has some header information
and some buttons at the top, then a long list below that can
be scrolled via a scroll bar. The part of the window that scrolls
can be a child window if that is easier. 

I've looked at the scrolling functions (ScrollWindow, ScrollDC) and
can't make them work right. If I use ScrollWindow it scrolls the
bitmap but as soon as my Paint procedure is called, it paints stuff
just the way it had been. I tried ScrollDC and it didn't do anything
at all. The problem is really my Paint procedure which doesn't know
anything about the scrolling. What is the "right" way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Rich
