Problem with hpwGetWindowRect

#1 · May 24, 2021, 10:32 am

Hi, and Special Hi to @hpw

I have to use hpwGetWindowRect to get position and size of a window, and then i take screen shot of that window.

there is a problem... In my screen shot based on hpwGetWindowRect data,(Windows 10) i see a margin around image (image attacked to this post)

That means hpwGetWindowRect counting window shadow area, when window is not maximized.
When window is maximized, there is no problem.

I know that I can use math to reduce and fit window rectangle area but i don't know when window is maximized and when its normal in my case.

any solution for this? is there a way to stop function from including shadow effect to window data?

Thanks :)

Hello,

That were the problems when MS is changing windows API calls.

You may have a look at:

hpwGetWindowState "" ""

That before your hpwGetWindowRect might allow you to do the workaround with some math.
