If I create a window and have a ListBox in it and specify the height to be, for
example, 100 pixels, it is actually created by Win32lib somewhat smaller. Why? Is
the amount the height I specify reduced by always the same amount?

By default, Windows creates listboxes in integral sizes based on the font size.
In other words, is adjusts the size so it shows an exact number of lines rather
than allowing partial lines to be displayed.
There is a create flag that allows this behaviour to be overridden -
"LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT"

Thanks Derek. I think this came up before and I forgot about the style flag.
