Remarks

Non-resizable windows

WinSize is used to modify the window size even if this window is a "non-resizable" window.

Display mode

If the window size exceeds the scree resolution and if "Automatic scrollbars" is checked ("Style" tab in the window description), some scrollbars are automatically added to scroll the window.

For example, a window was created in 800*600 full screen (or 240*600). Some scrollbars will appear when this window is displayed in 640*480 (or 240*320).

Buttons of title bar

Only the windows containing a maximize button in their title bar can be resized with the mouse.

The windows with no maximize button in their title bar cannot be maximized. In this case, an error will be generated.

The windows with no minimize button in their title bar cannot be minimized. In this case, an error will be generated.

Parent window/Child window

When a parent window is minimized, all its child windows are minimized at the same time. Only the icon of the parent window is found in the Windows desktop.
