Perhaps someone can help me with this little problem:  everytime I resize
the window of the app I'm writing, Windows kindly moves all of my stuff so
that it remains positioned correctly in the new client area.  However, I
don't want this to happen, because most of the time I will have to resize
everything and invalidate the whole window anyway.  Having Windows do a big
BLT first makes things look really bad.

What I'd like to do is to somehow prevent this automatic BLT from taking
place.  I know it's possible because other apps (Reversi being an example)
don't suffer from this problem.  There should be some message sent when
Windows is about to move a window so that this can be prevented.  I've
thought of sticking all sorts of stuff in the WM_MOVE case, but nothing
seems to help, so that's not it.

Any advice would be appreciated.  As always, RTFM is fine if a useful clue
to where in TFM the answer is is included.
