My guess is that DragWindow is checking one or more of the following:

- Does the window have a title bar (fTitle set)?
- Is the window movable (fMove set)?
- Is the startX/startY position within the title bar?

If you don't have a title bar at all, the first and third tests would
fail.

How about using DragRect to determine the new window position, then
MoveWindow to place the window in the final position?
