Re: Problem with Multiwindow Mode and Maximizing

Michael,

I looked at this and was unable to figure out what the problem is.

You are correct that it is a problem.

The window flashing is something that Windows does to help you visualize 
that the window is being maximized.  It occurs even when we don't do 
anything in our handling of the maximize message.

It appears that we must resize our own window when the maximize message 
arrives, but I can't seem to get this to work correctly.  Perhaps I will 
look at it another day.
