On every other "normal dialog with toolbars/statusbar", that something extra is the WK_KICKIDLE, which the sample (and my test dialog) includes.  The new codjock control bar logic appears have broken this logic somewhere within the toolkit.

If I go back to the old CXTResizeDialog, all the resizing works perfect, but when you add the new control bars, it breaks everything.

Yes, that allows the frame to be resized, but nothing more.  All the control bars remain the same size, and the statusbar still does not get updated.

May I suggest this be turned over to the Codejock qualtity control team and have someone at least compile and run the toolkit sample, and SEE and is going on.

I tried that, and it compiled ok, but did not work.  Looks just like when I used CXTPDialog.  No sizing grip on the statusbar, and cound not resize the window. 

Also, in both the CXTResizeDialog and the CXTDialog (as well as the example DialogSample which uses the CXTPDialog, in the toolkit), the statusbar fields are not being updated.  Apears to updated once at the start, then thats it.  You can observe this in the sample by simply toggling the NumLock or Caps Lock key.
