    Using Visual C++ 6.0 MFC in SDI application I want to change the scale of my drawings depending on the user's screen size and resolution. It isn't clear to me how to get that information from the user's PC for drawing in given window. Thanks!

      Use GetSystemMetrics() with SM_CXSCREEN, SM_CYSCREEN as parameter value.
