The Developer's Guide on DR5 in Chapter 4 talks about adjusting
the subview layout, and uses ODFForm as an example. The guide
is out-of-date here, because ODFForm does not have an implementation
of AdjustSubViews. It's not yet clear to me how the adjusting
is currently taking place - maybe it's in FrameShapeChanged?
If so, then I don't see how the scrollers are getting updated.

I've built a part using the Hello template. I then decided that
I'd like to have subview capability, so I cloned the View from
ODFForm, and stripped out the unneeded. I also grabbed
ODFForm's CreateSubViews. It's starting to work now, but I am
not getting the correct rendering of the subview when I drag the
growbox around. It seems like the content is anchored to the
growbox. When I drag the growbox and enlarge the window, the text
content gets pulled out of view. Eventually the text cannot be seen,
once the window has been fully enlarged.

Another interesting feature; though I have cloned ODFForm's scrolling
capability, my scrollers never appear - regardless of how small I
drag my window.

Please let me know if any of this sounds familiar, and you have a solution.

Thanks.
