Is there just some action required on resolution change or what might be causing this?

Anyway I maybe will go for a DLL where I build up some skeleton MDI layout with Windows.forms and convince the engine on rendering into the MDI window. As far as I've figured out this should theoretically work. Just that I'm not too much into Windows.forms... but we need to learn new stuff and building up entire GUIs with API calls is painful at least.
