Retrieves the coordinates of a window's client area. The client coordinates specify the upper-left and lower-right corners of the client area. Because client coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of a window's client area, the coordinates of the upper-left corner are (0,0).
Syntax
C++Copy
BOOL GetClientRect(
HWND hWnd,
LPRECT lpRect
);
Parameters
hWnd
Type: HWND
A handle to the window whose client coordinates are to be retrieved.
lpRect
Type: LPRECT
A pointer to a RECT structure that receives the client coordinates. The left and top members are zero. The right and bottom members contain the width and height of the window.
Return Value
Type: Type: BOOL
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

The RECT structure defines the coordinates of the upper-left and lower-right corners of a rectangle.
Syntax
c++Copy
typedef struct _RECT {
LONG left;
LONG top;
LONG right;
LONG bottom;
} RECT, *PRECT;
Members
-
left
The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle. -

right
The x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle. -
bottom
The y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
