Close method and GetRectangle method

[Fred Tomke]

Hello,

is there anybody who can reproduce that the left and top coordinates of close method are not the same as the left and top coordinates returned by GetRectangle method (I do not mean GetControlArea method)?

GetRectangle returns coordinates in the parent window's client coordinate system, and Close returns coordinates in the screen coordinate system. If the AutoCAD main window is maximized, this would mean the coordinate systems are identical for e.g. modal dialogs, but if the AutoCAD main window is not maximized, the coordinate systems would be different.

Ah, good to know. We should describe this in the intelligent help.

Thanks.
