Window size (WINAPI) includes blue bar
Author
Hey there!
Apparently the width and height you give up when creating a window (CreateWindowEx) include that titlebar on top of your window. I find this very annoying, because it gives pixelcalculationproblems in my games. Is there a way around?
Lots of thanks,

Or you could use the GetSystemMetrics function in order to find the width and height of window titlebars and borders, then take those values into consideration when creating your window.
I find that AdjustWindowRect is more exact. With GetSystemMetrics I always seem to be 2 pixels too long both on height and width.

Aah, thanks mates! Those should do the trick :) I think I'll go with AdjustWindowRect.
[EDIT]
Which style should I put in if my window's created with WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW? If I use WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, the return height is too big (displaying a 640*480 pic in the background and there's room left at the bottom).

Hi, make sure that the style parameter in AdjustWindowRect matchs the one in CreateWindowEx, i use the function and no problem so far.
though personally i use CreateWindow

CreateWindow() merely calls CreateWindowEx() with the first parameter set to 0, so it's all the same really.

You may be forgetting to take into account the width of the window border, which can also be queried with GetSystemMetrics().
