Help, I am trying to move a control in response to a WM_SIZE (so that
I can keep the control in the top right of my client area), but my
MoveWindow() instruction isn't working, the control (a combo box)
stays devoutly fixed in place. Does anybody know if this is supposed
to work, and if so, why it isn't? Does anybody have a little bit of
source code that shows how to move controls in response to WM_SIZE's?
