[comp.windows.ms] opening windows of a certain size

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about disabling 'Size'
option, as David from Microsoft pointed out when you disable an option
from the system menu, MS-Windows enables it when it drop the menu, the 
correct way to disable 'Size' option is by using WS_THICKBORDER, when 
calling CreateWindow, since there will not be a thick border, MS-windows 
will automatically disable the 'Size' option.

Here is another question for MS-Windows gurus.  
   How do I open a window s.t. it has a client area of a certain metric size,
i.e. 10cmx20cm, in general how do the size parameters that are passed to 
CreateWindow() translate into actual distances...

Thank You,
