If you us the GetSystemMetrics Function[^]int x = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); int y = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
On a multi-monitor system you can use SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN and SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN. You could also use the GetDeviceCaps Function[^]int x = GetDeviceCaps(hDC, HORZRES); int y = GetDeviceCaps(hDC, VERTRES);
