When I try to move my window(with a mouse) above my screen so that the title bar would be hidden windows will move it back. And If I try to rezise the window larger then the screen space, windows will resize it back to ‘fit’ the screen resolution. It seems that windows is sending a wm_move message if it does not like the size or position. Is there a way to prevent this?

It seems that I can call setwindowpos and place the window where ever I would like with what ever size I would like.

    In Win32 land, you would handle WM_MOVING, WM_SIZING, and WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING and turn them into a no-op. You would also probably want to handle WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE.

    It’s actually quite annoying unless you are writing the app for yourself.
