Ok, thanks to everyone who told me that if I intercept the WM_SIZE
message I also need to pass the message on to the default proc.

Question:

I have my MDI application and can create two different types of children
(documents).  What I would like, is to also create a child window that
is owned by one of these MDI children so that I can use it as a tool box
whenever the MDI child window is active (similar to the Tools window
used in Borland's Resource Workshop in the Dialog Editor).

I have tried calling CreateWindow after my MDI Child has been created but
this seems to cause a Protection Violation Error.  I have tried several
different styles (WS_CHILD, WS_CHILDWINDOW etc), but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have an idea as to how this can work?  I don't really want another
MDI child because it seems that MDI children must have Maximize/Minimize 
buttons which I don't want.

Also, how does Borland get their Tools window (it may be a dialog box I
don't know) to constantly be active even if another MDI child window is
active?

Any answers would be appreciated.
