This is not a problem anymore.  Due to recent win32 backend enhancements, the toolbar is resizing the window properly and the gormtest app now works properly.

It is not possible to alter the window size of a window on the Win32 backend.   I added something to gormtest to expand the width of the window to test this.

The button on the bottom right hand side of the center (borderless) window in gormtest should expand the window's width by 50 pixels.   This works fine on Linux, *BSD, but it doesn't work at all on Windows.

This seems to be the problem behind two other issues I've recently noticed:

1) Toolbar doesn't properly expand the window.
2) NSPopUpButton's which are altered (i.e. have items added at runtime) don't properly show new items.

Both of these require the expansion of a containing window, and both are failing.

The gormtest test program is located in the dev-apps/test/gormtest directory.  Please try this on windows for youself.

I am going to start looking into this, but it would also be good if others who had more to do with writing the windows backend could lend a hand.   Thanks, GJC
