You should be able to delete lines 17 and 19 for the exact same result.

You should be using GetClientRect, followed by ClientToScreen. If you do this it will work on all versions of Windows. You should never hard-code the size of UI elements in your app.

I agree 100% with you Digby.

In fact, I just found that the coords were in fact off on NT. (Must be the different border sizes of XP versus NT, etc.)

I also looked up the GetClientRect function shortly after I posted. So the original fix was more of cludge if nothing else.

However... how about putting this into the update() code? Just my 2 cents.

I hacked around a bit more and seemed to fix the problem on NT (will have to try it on XP and the 3800 later today).

All I did was call ScreenToClient() with the POINT that was returned for the GetCursorPos(). This gave me good coords.

Now I am wondering about the MENU_HEIGHT thing that Phantom is doing, and read on MSDN that you have to account for it. So maybe now that I fixed in on NT, it will be off on the PDA.

As, I said, just more drivel... lets hope this is the last of it.
