Could you give an example? What would you change the following into:

RECT dest_rect;
ClientToScreen(allegro_wnd, (LPPOINT)&dest_rect);

I tried using a union, which seems to work:

union
{
     RECT *first;
     LPPOINT second;
} dest_rect;

ClientToScreen(allegro_wnd, dest_rect.second);


Kind regards,
