API GetWindowRect

[BrerGoose]

When using GetWindowRect with Application.hWndAccessApp, the coordinates
returned are of the main window.

However, when I use GetWindowRect with a child form such as frmChild.hWnd,
how are the coordinates returned ? Are they offset from the main window, or
absolute from the desktop ?

The reason is, I want to use the return values in a MoveSize command.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I wonder if you might find
Nicole Calinoiu's clFormWindows class helpful for whatever you're doing:
