System Metrics
Hi All,
Hope you're having a cool Xmas.
Can anyone tell me how to get VC++ to let me use the GetSystemMetrics function? I can find it in help, and apparently can include the appropriate header file, but do I have to do something with the libraries? And how? I've never mucked about in this area before.
Cheers, and Happy new Year!

I'm not at home now so I cannot bring up my SDK help. I'm fairly sure that you must specify which system metric you want via a pre-defined mneumonic.
Hey,
Its In Lib: User32.lib
And is in Winuser.h (windows.h)
So really i should think the problem your having is with the systax of the function as the above lib and header should already be included.
Heres an example of how its used:
//the SM_CXSCREEN Param gets the x length of the screen
int cx = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
Hope the helps
Cheers
