I don't know if you are asking what you want to ask, but, at first glance,
the answer is:  you can't have the sizing gadget in the upper right hand
corner.  If a window has a sizing gadget, it is always in the lower right
hand corner.

You need to attach a StringExtend structure to your StringInfo structure.
Do this by setting STRINGEXTEND in the activation flags of the gadget
and putting a pointer to the StringExtend structure in the Extension
field of the string info structure.

Don't understand the question.
