Hello fellow Windows Programmer! Does anybody know how the Windows File Manager sets up the status line window positioned at the bottom of the frame window? I wrote a program doing this without MDI and it works fine (statusline created as child window, processing of WM_SIZE messages of the parent window etc.). However, integrating these codes into a program using MDI leads to the following problem: The child windows can be moved over the statusline, covering it up. When these child windows are moved away again, the statusline does not get re-painted. I am really kind of blurr (this is Sing-lish) about this... Thanks in advance for your help. - Beate +-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Beate Bieniek-Moores | Voice: (Singapore) 740-2940 | | Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems | Fax : (Singapore) 745-0495 | | Software Center Singapore (SCS) | Email: bieniek.sin@nixdorf.com (US) | | 2 Kallang Sector | bieniek.sin@nixdorf.de (EU) | | Singapore 1334 | | +-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | "Either I will find a way or I will make one".
