1. window size
my problem is this:
my screen is set 800x600
i have opened a window (createwindow) with default
dimensions
(defined as CW_USEDEFAULT)
GetClientRect reply : 0,0,80,116
but the size in pixels is 590x370
(think please that a window 80x116 would be large a tenth of the
screen and tall 1/6 of the screen, but it's not like this...)
i cannot harmonize such differences...
can u help me, please ?
Thanks, Flaminio

You can use GetWindowRect to get window's size and see if that is
same size ( - title and frame ) as client values.
You can set coordinates in createwindow to a known values and compare
to screen size ratio. Use GetClientRect and see what values it returns
when you set values ( other than default )
Make sure that MAP MODE is set to MM_TEXT set by SetMapMode function.
MM_TEXT should be default value for PIXELS.
CW_USEDEFAULT is ONLY VALID if the WINDOW STYLE is set to OVERLAPPED.
Hope that this helps you

How did you get the pixel size of the window?
