HELPWININFO

Contains the size and position of either a primary or a secondary Help window. An application can set this information by calling the WinHelp function with the HELP_SETWINPOS value.

Syntax

typedef struct { 
    int   wStructSize; 
    int   x; 
    int   y; 
    int   dx; 
    int   dy; 
    int   wMax; 
    TCHAR rgchMember[2]; 
} HELPWININFO;

Remarks

Windows Help divides the display into 1024 units in both the x and y directions. To create a secondary window that fills the upper-left quadrant of the display, for example, an application would specify zero for the x and y members and 512 for the dx and dy members.
