Need help with WinSetWindowPos

I wish to move and resize third party apps from my own application.
I intend to accomplish this by retrieving the handle for the target 
application's frame window and calling WinSetWindowPos with the new
SWP info (x & y pos and x & y width). 

So far, the target windows are moving to the proper location but I am
having some difficulty with resizing them. It looks as if the frame
window is resizing, but none of its children are. For instance, if I
call WinSetWindowPos with os2chess' frame window handle in order to make it
larger, the frame will grow, but nothing inside will. It's not a simple
matter of not having repainted the window either, as the buttons inside
the frame are active. I was under the impression that if a frame window
is resized it will send WM_SIZE messages, etc., to its children.

Any advice appreciated!

--- Thanks ---
