Do device coordinates use all 32 bits for newer versions of windows(xp,vista)?
Do device coordinates use all 32 bits for newer versions of windows(xp,vista)?
Any device suppoted by windows. I was just asking how many bits were used to hold coordinates(x,y). On older vesions of windows I know they only used 16 out of the 32 bits in an integer to hold the values(except for NT which made use of all 32).

Unless you are using 16 bit windows, assume they use all 32.
Windows 95 and 98 I know for sure only used 16 bit coordinates and they are 32 bit OS's.
Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Ill take that as a yes so thank you.
