I''m trying to find the width and height of the screen using ''GetBoundsRect()'', but I cannot get it to work: RECT Rect; int ScreenWidth; int ScreenHeight; GetBoundsRect(GetDC(0), &Rect, 0); ScreenWidth = Rect.right; ScreenHeight = Rect.bottom; Sometimes the values are correct, but mostly they are too large. Is this the right approach? Are their other ways to find the width and height of the screen? Thanx in Advance

Are you doing this everytime the window is resized?

There's always something smaller and something bigger. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't piss off the big stuff :)
