How to Get desktop coordinates.
-
HI, I am creating Window using window class. I added just a menu bar. I need couple of coordinates to give flexibilities to my window. 1. How I will get the height and with of a desktop, cause i may use this application in multiple resolution desktops. 2. Inside the window I have a menu bar only. I need to know the coordinates of left-bottom corner of that menu bar so that I can create other control inside my window. Thanks in advance...

hai 1: try to explore GetSystemmetrics or getdesktopwindow() function. 2: AFAIK, i guess, for what ever the resolution maybe, the menu bar size(height) will be same in pixels, wrt the window. so, you can hardcode it. or you can use GetWindowRect to get the bounds of your menu bar.

For determining the resolution(xMax X yMax), you can use
xMax = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
yMax = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)and for knowing the coordinates, use GetClientRect and change it to screen coordinates, if required, by using
ClientToScreenAPI. -
