Hello

I have 2 questions:

1) I am trying to use ClipCursor() function.
As the test  I just call GetClipCursor(&clip_rect) and then right away I 
call ClipCursor(&clip_rect).
When I start dragging a dialog box I can drag it under the desktop taskbar. 
Why?

2) Then I am trying to change the clip_rect, to decrease it by the taskbar?
I get the desktop window and then desktop rectangle. It turned out that 
desktop rectangle equals to clip_rect.
desktop_hwnd = GetDesktopWindow();
GetWindowRect(desktop_hwnd, &desktop_rect);

I get:
 clip_rect = = desktop_rect

How do I get desktop rectangle minus taskbar?

Thank you
Rony.
