Recently I posted asked for help in controlling the sizing of windows when
the user mouses down in the frame of a window.  I received 2 answers to my
question (from Tom Yosick and Christine Roine), both of which pointed me to the
WM_GETMINMAXINFO message.  I added the case to my window procedure, changed the
appropriate fields, and presto!, the user cannot make the window any bigger or
smaller than I wish.  My thanks to the responders.

BTW, one of my benefactors pointed out that he had found the on-line reference
much easier to use than the printed manuals.  I would have to agree.

Now for another question, anyone know how to find out if the SB_HORZ and
SB_VERT scroll bars are currently visible?  Can't seem to find anything which
will tell me, short of getting both the client and window rects for the
window and comparing their sizes.  Too much work.  Thanks again.

sig files are too expensive for a grad student's budget.
