I have a parent window, which allows me to use the SetItemData and
GetItemData very nicely.  If the item matches certain criteria, I
create a child window.  I would like focus to be changed to the
child window as soon as it is created.  I have tried many methods,
but to no avail.  The child is a listbox style, with LBS_Notify and
a bunch of other flags.

The only way (discovered by playing) to set focus to the child seems
to be grabbing it by a corner which does *not* overlap the parent,
on the title bar, moving it across the screen.  *Then* and only then
has focus changed.

One other problem I am having is that sometimes when I move a window,
a 'ghost' of it is left behind on its parent (just like a child to
barf on his parent, I know this), which doesn't go away.

None of the child/parent 'examples' in either Petzold or Norton are
industrial strength enough for this.  Any help out there, or other
suggested readings?
