NONCLIENTMETRICS Structure

Contains the scalable metrics associated with the nonclient area of a nonminimized window. This structure is used by the SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS and SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS actions of the SystemParametersInfo function.

typedef struct tagNONCLIENTMETRICS {
  UINT    cbSize;
  int     iBorderWidth;
  int     iScrollWidth;
  int     iScrollHeight;
  int     iCaptionWidth;
  int     iCaptionHeight;
  LOGFONT lfCaptionFont;
  int     iSmCaptionWidth;
  int     iSmCaptionHeight;
  LOGFONT lfSmCaptionFont;
  int     iMenuWidth;
  int     iMenuHeight;
  LOGFONT lfMenuFont;
  LOGFONT lfStatusFont;
  LOGFONT lfMessageFont;
#if (WINVER >= 0x0600)
  int     iPaddedBorderWidth;
#endif 
} NONCLIENTMETRICS, *LPNONCLIENTMETRICS;

• cbSize
  The size of the structure, in bytes. The caller must set this to sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS). For information about application compatibility, see Remarks.

• iBorderWidth
  The thickness of the sizing border, in pixels. The default is 1 pixel.

• iScrollWidth
  The width of a standard vertical scroll bar, in pixels.

• iScrollHeight
  The height of a standard horizontal scroll bar, in pixels.

• iCaptionWidth
  The width of caption buttons, in pixels.

• iCaptionHeight
  The height of caption buttons, in pixels.

• lfCaptionFont
  A pointer to a LOGFONT structure that contains information about the caption font.

• iSmCaptionWidth
  The width of small caption buttons, in pixels.

• iSmCaptionHeight
  The height of small captions, in pixels.

• lfSmCaptionFont
  A pointer to a LOGFONT structure that contains information about the small caption font.

• iMenuWidth
  The width of menu-bar buttons, in pixels.

• iMenuHeight
  The height of a menu bar, in pixels.

• lfMenuFont
  A pointer to a LOGFONT structure that contains information about the font used in menu bars.

• lfStatusFont
  A pointer to a LOGFONT structure that contains information about the font used in status bars and tooltips.

• lfMessageFont
  A pointer to a LOGFONT structure that contains information about the font used in message boxes.

• iPaddedBorderWidth
  The thickness of the padded border, in pixels. The default value is 4 pixels. The iPaddedBorderWidth and iBorderWidth members are combined for both resizable and nonresizable windows in the Windows Aero desktop experience. To compile an application that uses this member, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or later. For more information, see Remarks.

  **Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP/2000:  **This member is not supported.

If the iPaddedBorderWidth member of the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure is present, this structure is 4 bytes larger than for an application that is compiled with _WIN32_WINNT less than or equal to 0x0502. For more information about conditional compilation, see Using the Windows Headers.

**Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP/2000:  **If an application that is compiled for Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista must also run on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP/2000, use the GetVersionEx function to check the operating system version at run time and, if the application is running on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP/2000, subtract the size of the iPaddedBorderWidth member from the cbSize member of the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure before calling the SystemParametersInfo function.
