GetWindowRect returns bogus values?

[DerFarm]

I'm using the GetWindowRect(WindowHandle, Points) API to
return the upperleft and lowerright corners of the window.

The screen I'm looking at is the IE, maixmized to fit the entire
screen.

The values being returned are -4,-4 (left,top) and 804,604
(right,bottom).

I'm then passing these values to a proprietary DLL upon which VB
gives me the message that the values are off the screen:

"Rectangle is out of Window"

When I reshape the points to be such that left and top are 0 and
bottom and right are correspondingly modified (goes to 800,600)
then the thing works fine.

Question: Why is GetWindowRect returning bogus values?

Try GetClientRect instead as this doe not include the window borders, which do go off screen a bit for some maximised windows...
