Is there a way to get the TRUE sizes in pixels of the dbp windows (without the borders) ?

if someone know a DLL that do this ... or know how to code this using Window's API.

An old thread but may be of use:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=11701&b=1

or if using BlueGUI:

Or you could just use the project editor to see the size.

Good to see you're back, Cordier. What happened to your other projectS?

Hi Freddix,

The BlueGUI v2 equivalent is:

gadget=createGadgetFromWindow(mainWindow())

mainWinWidth=gadgetWidth(gadget)
mainWinHeight=gadgetHeight(gadget)

I tried using that in one of my programs but it caused my menus to become very unresponsive. ie. I would click on the menu, it would drop down, I would then click on a menu item and it wouldn't do anything ie. show my other window. It would sometimes but it was very flickery and unresposive. I had to remove that code and use the user32.dll in the end to avoid the problem.

@xtom : I don't have this problem in my software ... maybe a problem with an older release of BlueGUI v2 ?

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
