I tied the same setup, not using mdi; but I found that the resizing and painting was too slow. I used spy on the File Manager and found that their status line is not a child window but is simply painted onto the client window. So that's what I do now, seems to work fine. ------------------------ ----------------------- | Clif Westin | | | | MIS - VeriFone Inc. | | Make war, not love, | | clif_w1@verifone.com | | It's safer! :-) | | (808) 625-3188 | | | ------------------------ -----------------------
