> When an X window is resized, it gets a ConfigureNotify event.  When the resize is denied, no event arrives.  That is why Emacs on X only considers ConfigureNotify as resizes.  If lisp code tries to resize, we make the request, but nothing is updated until we get a ConfigureNotify.

OK, thanks.

But I don't see anything like that on MS-Windows: we do have a call to
change_frame_size when we receive a WM_SIZE message, but running the
recipe in this thread doesn't cause WM_SIZE to be received, and the
call to change_frame_size, if it is done, comes via
internal-set-lisp-face-attribute and modify-frame-parameters,
i.e. directly from Lisp.  (When the frame is maximized,
change_frame_size is not called at all.)

Martin, can you tell what is the equivalent of the above X processing
on MS-Windows?  Does Emacs implement a similar logic internally?
