Description

The GET WINDOW RECT command returns the coordinates of the window whose reference number is passed in window. If the window does not exist, the variable parameters are left unchanged.

If you omit the window parameter, GET WINDOW RECT applies to the frontmost window for the current process.

The coordinates are expressed relative to the top left corner of the contents area of the application window (on Windows) or of the main screen (on Macintosh). The coordinates return the rectangle corresponding to the contents area of the window (excluding title bars and borders).

Note: Under Windows, if you pass -1 in window, GET WINDOW RECT returns the coordinates of the application window (MDI window). These coordinates correspond to the contents area of the window (excluding menu bars and borders).
