GetPixel, Setpixel api errors

I am just learning to use api's and these are the first two i learned.

my problem is that, when i try to pass a variable to the getpixel or setpixel api, it can't be larger than 800 for the x value, or 600 for the y value (in terms of x and y on the form.)

This is an extremely small area and quite useless, any suggestions???

Could you post your code - I haven't ever seen that limitation.

I have found the problem

in the mouse_move command, the getpixel was using the position is twips. but the getpixel used it as the pixel position.

thanks anyway!
