PtInRect

[ajige]

I have programmed for my Pocket PC earlier in C# and Pascal, but have decided to try straight c with PellesC.

I going through the book "Programming for WindowsCE" in order to learn Windows programming in c.
I have the following problem with the PtInRect function:

Code Select Expand


The original code from the book:
RECT rectBoard = {0,0,0,0}; 
POINT pt;
if(PtInRect(&rectBoard, pt))

compiles fine, but always returns false

I've also tried

Code Select Expand

if(PtInRect(&rectBoard,*((LPPOINT)&pt)))
Compiles fine, but same result, always false
   
My work-around code is:

Code Select Expand

if (pt.x<rectBoard.right &&pt.x>rectBoard.left &&pt.y>rectBoard.top && pt.y <rectBoard.bottom)
This compiles fine, and returns true, when within the rectBoard border.

Any ideas why PtInRect doesn't work?

Have you tried having the right values so that the POINT is within the RECT?

Code Select Expand


RECT rectBoard = {0,0,10,10}; 
POINT pt = {2,2};
if(PtInRect(&rectBoard, pt)){

Sorry, I forgot to include the code for where the points come frem. Here is a more complete copy of the code:

Code Select Expand


LRESULT DoLButtonUpMain (HWND hWnd, UINT wMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
POINT pt;
INT cx,cy,nCell=0;
pt.x=LOWORD (lParam);
pt.y = HIWORD (lParam);
if (PtInRect (&rectBoard, pt))


I also tried :

Code Select Expand

RECT rectBoard = {0,0,10,10}; 
POINT pt = {2,2};
if(PtInRect(&rectBoard, pt)){
MessageBox (hWnd, TEXT("Up"), szAppName, MB_OK);
}
Still no results.


Thanks for trying!

Well I'm surprised, it works here on a normal PC, (I don't have a pocket PC) but would expect PtInRect() to behave the same.
