The XpandDlg.exe sample implements changing the size of the dialog box through
the following three steps:

1. Create the dialog box at its large size.

2. Call the MoveWindow() function to size the window to the smaller size when
  the dialog box procedure receives a WM_INITDIALOG message.

3. To show the remainder of the dialog box on the screen, call MoveWindow()
  again.
