I have a problem resizing a CEdit (textbox) control in a dialog. I call GetClientRect() to get the current size of the control, then resize the control appropriately by calling MoveWindow() on the control. It seems that the next time i call GetClientRect() the RECT returned is 4 pixels smaller than the one I passed to MoveWindow(). What gives?
Thanks, Bob

CEdit::GetClientRect() returns wrong info?
Hi..
I think you need to use GetWindowRect(..) instead of the GetClientRect(.. )

Yes that works. Thank you. Makes sense, Get>>>Client<<<Rect() *should* return the *client* area rect, which for the textbox is inside the 3-d border...
