GetWindowRect function

[dipak22101980]

HI,

below is a piece of code.

HWND hVWnd;
RECT rRect;

GetWindowRect(hVWnd,&rRect);
diff_val = rRect.bottom-rRect.top;

If on starting a application if my window is minimized then value o
rRect.top and
rRect.bottom is -32000.

Is it a garbage value or any valid error code?

Once my window get normal size it gives me a valid wondow cordinates
(such as 405, 395 ..)

my question is,
when a window is minimize then GetwindowRect's top propery is alway
-32000.

or it could be any other garbage value.

Waiting for your reply

Many thank

Do you look to see if the window is visible before you ask for its size?
