PixelCoordMode

[sr243]

The description for this Opt is

Sets the way coords are used in the pixel functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the window defined by hwnd (default active window):

0 = relative coords to the defined window

1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)

2 = relative coords to the client area of the defined window

But what is the difference between mode 0 and 2?

Thanks!

Hi,

0 includes the borders and the top area with the title

2 incudes only the inner rectangle

Thanks Andy!

That makes sense now.

Do you happen to know whether controlgetpos is relative to the borders like mode 0 or to the inner rectangle like mode 2?

It says to the client window, so I'm assuming like mode 2, right?
