Stupid question:

how can I find the client area offset of a window, i.e. the offset
between the top left corner of the window's client area relative to
the top left corner of its window (nonclient) area? GetClientRect
seems to always return 0,0 for upper left corner.

I'm trying to position a dialog box in the right place relative to a
tab control.

Hi,

You can tinker with the following APIs to get the right offset:

ScreenToClient()

ClientToScreen()

MapWindowPoints()

Aha, I think I found what I was looking for, TabCtrl_AdjustRect looks
like the right thing.
