If I change the size of a window using MoveWindow to 400x250, the entire window (including title bar and borders) is made to be 400x250. Is there any way to size it so that the actual client area is 400x250?

Nevermind. Figured it out.
Code:RECT rect; int borderWidth; int borderHeight; MoveWindow( g_hWnd, 100, 100, 400, 250, FALSE ); GetClientRect( g_hWnd, &rect ); borderWidth = 400 - ( rect.right - rect.left ); borderHeight = 250 - ( rect.bottom - rect.top ); MoveWindow( g_hWnd, 100, 100, WINDOW_WIDTH + borderWidth, WINDOW_HEIGHT + borderHeight, FALSE );

Hmmmm, thanks for thinking out loud. I like your way of determining the border size
Heh. I'm sure that someone will point out a better way to do it, but that seems to be working fine for me.

That's actually the way I always do things. Find the current client size, and use the desired client size to figure out how much to expand the window.
Check out this handy function. AdjustWindowRect( );

That method is good for sizing before the creation of the window, but I find it a pain in the ass to write down the window styles over and over.

Why not just combine them into one DWORD much like you specify when creating the window with bitwise OR.

GetSystemMetrics() can return the thickness of the windows frame.
