I have a question regarding the RECT structure required for PInvoke calls.
I was reviewing the Rectangle structure (System.Drawing .Rectangle) and it
occurred to me that I may be able to use this structure in place of defining
a RECT structure. I would create the RECT structure definition the same as
the Rectangle structure is defined. Is there any problems with using
Rectangle in place of RECT for the API functions?
Thanks,
Mythran

Mythran,
Yes, you can use the System.Drawing. Rectangle structure in place of the
RECT structure in interop calls. The structure layout is the same.
Hope this helps.

Nicholas,
Are you sure about this? It seems at first glance that the Rectangle class
uses left, top, *width*, *height* while RECT uses left, top, *right*,
*bottom*. Also, I think I remember seeing strange behavior when I tried
using the Rectangle class (changing to RECT fixed the problem.)

Colin,
Yes, I am. The fields internally are laid out in the same way that the
RECT structure does. The property that you see, Right, is returned on the
fly, and there is not a backing store for it in the class.

No they aren't, Colin is correct.
The property that you see, Right, is returned on the

Exactly, whereas in RECT "right" it's a field on its own.

No you can't, the layout don't fit. This one works (at least form me :-) )
public struct RECT
{
public int Left;
public int Top;
public int Right;
public int Bottom;
}
I originaly have it from this article: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/win32.asp

to do this with a region's IsVisible function, but no, IsVisible returns
true if any portion of the rectangle is visible.
I know I'll eventually get this just by messing around but don't want to

I have an image with a class and the class defines a clip rectangle.
In Firefox 2 and 3, and Opera 9, I can access the rectangle with
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle().
But that doesn't seem to work in Safari for Windows 3, nor when I use
image.currentStyle.clip in IE 7.
Is there a way to do this in those browsers? Am I doing something stupid?
