    Detect Screen Resolution

    Hi, I'm a noob so I need some help with this.

    I want to write a function in c that returns the height and width of the screen and stores them in an array. Thats it!

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You'll have to use a Windows-specific function in order to do this. What one, I don't know.

    Aha, I think this is it. http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/...adMessage.aspx

    [edit] BTW, that was the fourth google hit for "c return screen resolution". [/edit]
