Creating windows with WinCreateStdWindow

I have a parent window defined. I then create child windows. Maybe 50%
of the time, however, the title bar of the child window is created 'under'
the menu bar of the parent window. That is, the child's title bar is
hidden under the parent's menu bar, or even further 'up.'

   Now, one way to take care of this is to call WinSetWindowPos with
SWP_MAXIMIZE to maximize the window. However, when I go back to a
non-maximized window, the title bar goes back to it's
original position. Is there a way to take care of this initial position?
Am I doomed to WinCreateWindow?

On a related note, is there any way to create a maximized window with
WinCreateStdWindow? It states in the online docs that all WS_
parameters affect the window style, except WS_MAXIMIZED and WS_MINMIZED
(so why are they there??). Right now, I'm doing it as above, with
WinSetWindowPos.
