GetWindowRect wrong dimensions

[lacir]

Hi there, I am having the big problem with getting the area of hwind with routine GetWindowRect. Even Spy++ or his implementation returns rectangle, that is smaller than real area. Its a some special kind of application, I am looking for some alternative to GetWindowRect, or how can I get all the window area programmatically correct.

The GetWindowRect function returns the correct size of any window. If your code is not working then you need to provide more details.

Its casino application, I am using GetWindowRect standard way.

Sorry, but that tells us nothing.

Could you show your code?

HWND hwnd = FindWindow("HwndWrapper[PokerClient.exe;;518cf654-e6cb-47c5-9916-be16cbf1e961]", NULL);
GetWindowRect(hwnd, &wr);
AdjustWindowRect(&wr, WS_BORDER, true);

As I said its weird behaviour of GetWindowRect Edited code, it was from the last operation when I was trying get also parent window.

You call FindWindow but then ignore the value it returns. Then you are using some other value parrent as a windows handle to obtain the window rectangle for. Is it what you want? :confused:

You are calling AdjustWindowRect with the Window's dimensions. But the first parameter to AdjustWindowRect is supposed to be the dimensions of the client area of the Window.

This line:

GetWindowRect(parrent, &wr);

Should (probably!) either be:

GetWindowRect(hwnd, &wr);

Or:

GetWindowRect(GetParent(hwnd), &wr);
