Large Icon Display setting in windows.

[a3gupta]

Hello, I am writing a dialog based application in VC++ 6.0 I was wondering if there is a way to detect if a user has chosen to display Large Icons or Large font on his computer using the desktop properties. I will appreciate any input on this. Thanks !! Sincerely, Anjum.

You can detect the font size use the following: CDC ScreenDC; ScreenDC.CreateIC(_T("DISPLAY"), NULL, NULL, NULL); int nLogDPIX = ScreenDC.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX), nLogDPIY = ScreenDC.GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY); ScreenDC.DeleteDC(); if(nLogDPIX == 120 && nLogDPIY == 120) { // 120 DPI, Large Fonts } else { // 96 DPI, Small Fonts }
