Not having good luck with this I take it?

Actually, I believe that *is* standard behaviour.  Normally maximize
means to fill as much as possible into the parent Window, not fill as
much as possible except for other children.  Maximizing (in this case)
wont help.  You will have to resize it and account for all children
you dont want ran over.

You should consider doing this application in an MDI interface.  Matter
of fact (since I can now over-ride Win32Lib's internal message handler)
I might just add a new MDI xControl interface.  That would be cool.  I
need to look into that when I have the time.
