Get window position plus borders

How would I get a windows position, which includes its borders, of any window, whether that be a parent or child window? Now, I know about GetWindowRect, but that seems to be giving me the wrong coordinates. I tried using it on a button in a parent window with its x and y coordinates set to 0, and instead of the left and top returning 0, GetWindowRect took into account the absolute screen coordinates of the button, instead of the client coordinates plus the borders. Is there a function that does this, or a way to do this? I'm using c++. Thanks.

GetClientRect?

GetWindowRect returns screen coordinates. You can convert to client coordinates with ScreenToClient.

GetClientRect returns client coordinates, as well.

True, but GetClientRect will not include the borders etc.

I suppose that may be true...

Thanks! ScreenToClient worked perfectly.

Keep in mind there will be times when you want the opposite and you will use ClientToScreen(). Thankfully MS had the foresight to put these functions in b/c computing all that manually would be a major pain.

Something tells me you might find AdjustWindowRect() helpful.
