My term project is a simple chess game.  When the user drag a chess piece, 
that piece is suppose to move with the mouse as it is dragged and I have to 
report where the piece is dragged to.  If the user dragged it to somewhere 
outside of the client, then I’m lost.  One way to get the location outside of 
client is to “trap the mouse” using SetCapture().  Petzold has a good example 
on using SetCapture().  But there is no point on catching where the user 
dropped the piece outside of the client area since it’s not a valid move 
anyway.  The best way is to stop the user from dragging the piece outside of 
client area.
