Thanks everyone for replying :)
It's well known that sometimes Windows will create Windows with negative coordinates (maybe you're treating them as unsigned). This is how I believe "minimize" works or some other strange GUI behavior that's been there since Win 3.1... rchen blogged about it some couple years ago.
I would appreciate it if you could point me towards that blog.....any links or anything i can search for that u remember...maybe it will give me some clue :)...thanks

Hi,
First, I'd like to apologize since what I'm asking doesn't directly relate to ReactOS however I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed some light.
I've built a rudimentary win32k profiler and I've hooked the win32k SDT and hooked onto the NtUserCreateWindowEx function in the hope of studying values returned by it. I see some strange (to me) values for the x and y coordinates - values such as 1547372 etc. I'm not sure how to interpret these values and convert them into pixel units or traditional coordinate mechanisms. I first thought there must be something wrong with my code however I'm not so sure anymore.
Would someone here be able to guide me on how to interpret these values???
Thanks and sorry again
Bye for now
