Use GetWindowRect to get the position and dimensions of a window. See also GetWindowPlacement. It expects a window handle. A common way of getting a window handle is to call the FindWindow function, but then you have to know the class name or window title, and you're also relying on there being only one window matching those criteria. EnumWindows will give you every top-level window to let you do more thorough examination to decide whether it's the one you're after. (For instance, you could call GetWindowThreadProcessID and use the process ID to determine which process created the window.) All those functions are documented on MSDN. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
