get x,y coords and height, width of a window

[nabeels786]

I have the window handle, but whenever I try with the RECT structure and GetWindowRect() it returns 0's, with a valid HWND.


Any other ideas?

Well, if you want it measured in twips, you could use the form's Left and Top values.

Dim xcoord As Long
Dim ycoord As Long
 
xcoord = Form1.Left
ycoord = Form1.Top

However, you should know that an xcoord value of 0 will be the extreme left hand side of the screen, and a ycoord value of 0 will be the extreme bottom of the screen, based on where the title bar touches. If you want it measured in geometric X, Y format (where xcoord 0, ycoord 0 will be the exact center of the screen) I cannot help you.
