globalWindowWidth/Height are both set to 1280 and 720 respectively. Later on, in the WM_PAINT event, I get the window dimensions through this function which ultimately calls GetClientRect():
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | Window_Dimension GetWindowDimension(HWND window)
{
Window_Dimension Result;
RECT ClientRect;
GetClientRect(window, &ClientRect);
Result.width = ClientRect.right - ClientRect.left;
Result.height = ClientRect.bottom - ClientRect.top;
return(Result);
};

When called, GetClientRect returns a 'right' value of 1264 and 'bottom' value of 681, despite me wanting values of 1280 and 720. Why is this occurring?
EDIT:
After some research I found that this might have something to do with the CreateWindowEx call and the fact that is calculates total window size (includes window borders, title bar, etc.). So when I grab a client rect, it subtracts the window title bar and borders from the final pixel values. I find a function 'AdjustWindowRectEx' for which I'm trying to use:
1 2 3 | DWORD windowStyles = WS_VISIBLE;
RECT rect = { 0, 0, (LONG)globalWindowWidth, (LONG)globalWindowHeight };
BOOL success = AdjustWindowRectEx(&rect, windowStyles, false, 0);

However, my rect doesn't seem to be adding in additional border and title bar pixel values so I'm still stuck.
