Call this member function to get the window region of a window.
int GetWindowRgn(
HRGN hRgn
)const;
Parameters
- hRgn
A handle to a window region.

NULLREGION The region is empty.
SIMPLEREGION The region is a single rectangle.
COMPLEXREGION The region is more than one rectangle.

Remarks
The window region determines the area within the window where the operating system permits drawing. The operating system does not display any portion of a window that lies outside of the window region.
The coordinates of a window's window region are relative to the upper-left corner of the window, not the client area of the window.
To set the window region of a window, call CWnd::SetWindowRgn.
