Actually it is quite possible to do what Dilwyn says, as I demonstrate in my FastFind program, released in 2002. You simply set the outline to the whole screen without clearing the window. You have to provide your own drawing routine, of course, to draw the interactive "outline". Once the user is satisfied, the outline is set to the desired size and the application window is redrawn.
This is a very good idea about the outline which I have used, not to resize a window but to allow QMENU to have the whole screen for file searching etc.
My idea about the resizing is to allow a programmer just to replace WM_CHWIN by a subroutine to find the size change. The programmer need not alter the size of window until he knows what the change should be.
