Window Repositioning

I'm working on my playlist tree manager... I've noticed that when the window gets resized I get a WM_SIZE message and I use that to reposition some of the controls in my window.  But when the window gets moved, My controls can get messed up (the search box isnt dynamically moved with the main panel window because its actually another diaog box that I create using CreateDialog)... After looking at the msdn stuff I thought I would probably be getting WM_MOVE messages or something similar but I don't seem to be.  Anybody know what the correct message is that will let me know I need to move my controls around?

If you use WS_CHILD style and assign the correct parent window, moving should not be a problem.

Ok, I did that for my search box and changed the windowpositioning code to local instead of global coordinates and it works now, but my original question is still a valid one...

What I am working on is creating an explorer window using CreateProcess, and I am able to get the HWND of the created window.  I want to be able to move the explorer window and keep it docked next to the playlist tree panel even when foobar window is moved.  Is there any notification sent to me that will let me know when I have moved?

Aren't there embeddable file view and tree controls?

As far as I know, the only way for you to catch this is to implement a window message hook, and I don't mean by subclassing the window process.

Yes, but they are alot more work than spawning off an explorer process.
