System metric for the window size

i have looked on msdn for the window im working with's x and y size using GetSystemMetrics does any one know what it is

ps: sorry if that dont make sence im tired :P

I'm not sure what you're asking for exactly. The paramters for getting the size of the desktop are SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN. I'm not sure on this one because I'm only looking through the headers but I think the size of your window would be SM_CXSIZE and SM_CYSIZE. Try those and let me know if they work

ok here is what i have and it should explain a little bit better wat i am doing

Code:

---

                int x = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSIZE);
                MoveWindow(hwndEdit , 10 , 10 , x - 50 , 15 , TRUE);

---

when it starts up it seams that the edit control is not responding and it is not resizing, im trying to make auto resize with the main window (hwnd)
thanks

in other words i want to get the width of the client rect.

i got it worked out now..for those who may come accross this you need to use GetClienRect()
