Obtaining screen dimensions

[gokings]

Can anyone tell me how to obtain the screen dimensions in an MFC app? Thanks

it doesnt seems to be mfc. but its simply call api functions: GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

Get SystemMetrics will do the trick, if you'd like to substract the taskbar of other toolbars => use SystemParametersInfo. "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

CWnd::GetDesktopWindow()->GetWindowRect (...); Although this will return the same screen size regardless of the presence of app bars. You probably want the size of the workspace. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
