You got your info a bit wrong there, and as such you actually answered your own question ;)

It is GetWindowRect which you need to use. Coordinates are given in screen coordinates that are relative to the upper-left corner of the screen.

This means you can know the position of the window relative to the screen as well as it size by either taking the coordinates in its 16 byte long RECT structure as-is, or by doing right - left and top - bottom.

SetWindowPos exists, but not GetWindowPos


------------------------------------------------------------

So you need to use either:
GetWindowRect
GetWindowRgn (if window is not rectangular)
GetWindowInfo (if you also need other info at the same time)

all defined in User32.dll
