both questions have one answer: i guess you re-draw tetris blocks each time they move, using rectangles (RECT structure) of the block parts. so what you have to do is to check if left-most,right-most and bottom-most rectangles are inside the main window rectangle. also, the block should stop moving when the bottom-most rectangle of it touches the top-most block's rectangle on the same game column (each block part is one column wide). you can get the rectangle of the main window using GetWindowRect() function. but don't forget to use, ClientToScreen() and ClientToParent() functions when needed, they save more than just time.

Maybe the IntersectRect function (see here [^]) or the MFC flavor CRect::IntersectRect ([^]) will be useful. Good luck. :)
