Thanks everyone for replying :)
It's well known that sometimes Windows will create
Windows with
negative coordinates (maybe you're treating them as unsigned). This is
how I believe "minimize" works or some other strange GUI behavior
that's been there since Win 3.1... rchen blogged about it some couple
years ago.
I would appreciate it if you could point me towards that blog.....any links or
anything i can search for that u remember...maybe it will give me some
clue :)...thanks
