Hi,

Just looked over the WM_SIZING message blurb and it says:

Quote:

Parameters

fwSide

Value of wParam. Indicates which edge of the window is being sized. This parameter can be a combination of the following values:

Value Meaning
WMSZ_BOTTOM Bottom edge
WMSZ_BOTTOMLEFT Bottom-left corner
WMSZ_BOTTOMRIGHT Bottom-right corner
WMSZ_LEFT Left edge
WMSZ_RIGHT Right edge
WMSZ_TOP Top edge
WMSZ_TOPLEFT Top-left corner
WMSZ_TOPRIGHT Top-right corner

How can it possibly be a combination of these values?
Surely the window can only be grabbed at one of the four corners or four edges, all of which are covered Question

I think it's just a bad description. It should probably read "any" instead of "a combination".

In a lot of cases MSDN articles are copy/pasted, so there may be some wrong descriptions. I noticed a few of these too.
