window border width and height in Win32 - how do I get it?

Question

      ::GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYBORDER)

...comes back with 1 and I know the title bar is taller than ONE pixel :/

I also tried:

     RECT r;
         


        

Answer 1

I think what you're looking for is SM_CYCAPTION -- that's the height of the title bar. SM_CYBORDER is the height of the horizontal edges of a window.
