Quick Easy MFC question [modified]

Here's the code, and the important values from stepping through the code:

    CStatic m\_audio\_rate\_text;
    ...
m\_audio\_rate\_text.Create(T\_AUDIO\_BITRATE\_TEXT, WS\_CHILD|WS\_VISIBLE
	,move
	,this,AUDIO\_BITRATE\_TEXT);

CRect t;
m\_audio\_rate\_text.GetWindowRect(&t);

// step-through watch values:
// move { top=160 bottom=205 left=500 right=600}
// t { top=189 bottom=234 left=503 right=603}

How do I get the right RECT ?? (the same as the one I created it with) Or Why is GetWindowRect() returning a different value?

GetWindowRect returns a rectangle in screen coordinates. Create takes a rectangle that uses client window coordinates. You can use ScreenToClient and ClientToScreen to convert between the two.
