Sample Code
-----------

       int winBorder, cxBorder, cyBorder,
           cxMargin, cxBAMargin, cyBAMargin,
           x, y, cx, cy;

       /* Get the user-defined border width */ 
       winBorder = GetProfileInt("windows", "BorderWidth", 5);
       /* It must be in the range of 0 < winBorder < 51 */ 
       if (winBorder < 1) {
           winBorder = 1;
       } else if (winBorder > 50) {
           winBorder = 50;
       }

       /* Get some internal system metrics to determine extra scaling */ 
       cxBorder = GetSystemMetrics (SM_CXBORDER);
       cyBorder = GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYBORDER);
       cxMargin = (cxBorder * winBorder) + cxBorder;

       /* Byte align the border */ 
       cxBAMargin = (((cxMargin + 7) & 0xFFF8) - cxMargin);
       cyBAMargin = cxBAMargin * cyBorder / cxBorder;

       x  = cxBAMargin;
       y  = cyBAMargin;
       cx = CW_USEDEFAULT;
       cy = 0;

       hWnd = CreateWindow(szAppName, szTitle, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                           x, y, cx, cy,
                           NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
