Window Size

[X PaYnE X]

I just finished making this little test program to demonstrate my problem:

This is a window run with the classic Windows XP style:

And here is that same window run with the standard Windows XP style:

Now the thing is, the title bar is obviously bigger in the second program, but I dont understand why the client area of the program is now smaller.

If anyone knows of a way to fix this, Id appreciate it.

One possible 'fix' is to handle the WM_SIZE event for the parent window and resize the child control to fit the parent's client dimensions, eg:

case WM_SIZE:
{
WORD cx,cy;
cx=LOWORD(lParam);
cy=HIWORD(lParam);
/*use SetWindowPos or MoveWindow to resize */
MoveWindow(hChildControl, 0, 0, cx, cy, 0);
return 0;
}
