Win32/MFC Get window rect from client rect

Question

I know there is a function somewhere that will accept a client rect and it will convert it into a window rect for you. I just can't find / remember it!

Does anyone know what it is?

It will do something similar to:

const CRect client(0, 0, 200, 200);
const CRect window = ClientRectToWindowRect(client);
SetWindowPos(...)

Answer 1

If you want to map client co-ordinates to window co-ordinates use the ClientToWindow API.

If you want to map client co-ordinates to screen co-ordinates use the ClientToScreen API.

Answer 2

You're probably thinking of AdjustWindowRectEx(). Keep in mind, this is intended for use when creating a window - there's no guarantee that it will produce an accurate set of window dimensions for an existing window; for that, use GetWindowRect().

Answer 3

For control reposition use:

RECT client;
::SetRect(&client, 0, 0, 200, 200);
::MapWindowPoints(hwndControl, ::GetParent(hwndControl), (POINT*)&client, 2);
::SetWindowPos(...)
