How to get desktop resolution? (Win32)
Author
I have two monitors and extended desktop. True resolution is (2*1280, 1024).
But, standart function:
GetDeviceCaps(::GetDC(0), DESKTOPHORZRES);
and
GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXSCREEN );
returned desktop width as 1280.
You want to use the EnumDisplayDevices method. Here's a sample:
DISPLAY_DEVICE device;device.cb = sizeof(DISPLAY_DEVICE);for(int i = 0; ; i++){ if (!::EnumDisplayDevices(NULL, i, ref device, 0)) break; printf("Enumerated device: (id: %s) (name: %s) (state: %d)\n", device.DeviceID, device.DeviceName, device.StateFlags); // If it's not connected to the desktop, then ignore it. if ((device.StateFlags & ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP) == 0) continue; // Get the display mode settings of this device. DEVMODE devMode; if (!::EnumDisplaySettings(device.DeviceName, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &devMode)) continue; printf(" Position: (%d, %d) Size: %dx%d\n", devMode.dmPosition.x, devMode.dmPosition.y, devMode.dmPelsWidth, devMode.dmPelsHeight);}

then you need something like:
cxScreen = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
cyScreen = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
cxScreen = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
cyScreen = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
