Just an idea, but are you defining your toolbars and statusbars before you
create other controls on the window? The recommendation is that one creates
a window, then any toolbars, then the statusbar and then the other controls.
This is because create() tries to use the client area to place controls in,
but it can only do that if toolbars and statusbars are already created,
since they reduce the client area.

Here is some sample code that seems to work okay on my machine:

-----------
without warning
include win32lib.ew
integer win, tc, ti
procedure pb(integer self, integer event, sequence parms)
        setCtlSize(tc,{0.99,-5},{0.99,-25})
end procedure

win = createEx(Window, "Test Tabcontrol", 0, 0, 0, 640, 480, 0, 0)
tc  = createEx(TabControl, "", win, 5, 25, {0.99,-5}, {0.99,-25}, 0, 0)
ti  = createEx(TabItem, "One", tc, 0, 0,0, 0, 0, 0)

setHandler(win, w32HResize, routine_id("pb"))
WinMain(win, Normal)
-----------
