I knew it the other day.. now i seem to have forgotten it. Whats the function that will return a RECT given the top, left, bottom and right values? i think there is one.. something like CreateRect or MakeRect.. but it seems they dont exist it woudn''t be hard to write one myself, but i wanna know the winapi one so, anyone?

I can''t remeber one to get a rect. But ther is GetClientRect to get the RECT of the client window.

    RECT rc;rc.left = x;rc.right = x + width;rc.top = y;rc.bottom = y + height;    

or you can use something like SetRect(...)


- HTH

Rectangle(hdc, x1, y1, x2, y2)

I just do:

RECT stuff
stuff.left = 0;
stuff.top = 0;
stuff.right = 10;
stuff.bottom = 10;

just tell me one thing : Do you have a book, or an online help with the compiler you are using (and what is it) ? Since there is a topic about vets flaming newbies, I guess I won''t go further, but can you answer ?
If you don''t, well, then mea culpa.

Well, I have an old copy of the MSDN CD''s copied onto my hard drive for use with VC++ 6.0. Didn''t quite get your point about vets flaming newbies?

I was gonna answer with a burning *RTFM*.
I mean, is it that hard to look up RECT in the index of the help files ???? I think not. Then I thought, well, if you don''t have the help files, nor the book ...
but of course, what are you doing if you code without those tools ?

ahw ell

A.

RECT R;
SetRect(&R, 10, 10, 100, 30);


B.

RECT R;
SetRectEmpty(&R);


C.

RECT R = { 10, 10, 100, 30 };


D.

Use stuff in above posts...

hmm...no one gave me the answer i wanted
i wanted this: (i wrote my own)

    RECT CreateRect(int left, int top, int right, int bottom){    RECT rc;    SetRect(&rc, left, top, right, bottom);    return RECT;}//so i can use it like this:Blt(CreateRect(X, Y, X+width, Y+height), ....);    

oh well
