Value of the low-order word of lParam. Specifies the new width of the client area.

nHeight

Remarks

If the SetScrollPos or MoveWindow function is called for a child window as a result of the WM_SIZE message, the bRedraw parameter should be nonzero to cause the window to be repainted.

Although the width and height of a window are 32-bit values, the nWidth and nHeight Parameters of the WM_SIZE message contain only the low-order 16 bits.
