NONCLIENTMETRICS Structure Size

[dedndave]

MSDN tells us that vista and win 7 have an additional member in NONCLIENTMETRICS
what they don't tell us is whether or not the old size structure will work in newer OS's

here's what i get with XP MCE 2005 SP3...

Code Select Expand

OS Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
Structure Size: 340  SPI Status: 00000001
Structure Size: 344  SPI Status: 00000000

i am interested to see what it does under vista and win 7

[qWord]

windows is mostly backwards compatible - for me it works  :P

[dedndave]

it returns nonzero for both sizes ???
what OS ?
could you copy/paste, please

[qWord]

Win7, x86-64

Glad to buddy, regardless if it works or not I always enjoy reading the code of others. To an asm loving geek like me its better reading then a good book. :bg
