Win32 get current window size function?
Author
I want to know if there is a function that will return the current size of the current window. I have found reference of how to get the max and minimum sizes of the current window, but I can''t seem to find anything on google about how to get the current size of the current window.
I want to do this in straight WIN32 API, no MFC, no DirectX, no OpenGL.
RECT rc;
GetClientRect(hWnd,&rc);
or GetWindowRect(hWnd,&rc);

Not that there is a difference between GetClientRect and GetWindowRect. If you want the size of a window, you probably want GetClientRect (but I think you could compute it from either).

GetWindowRect also returns screen coords, whereas GetClientRect always returns 0s for left and top and the width in right and the height in bottom. that''s because GetWindowRect''s coords are relative to the desktop origin and GetClientRect''s coords are relative to the given window''s client area.
