Device coordinates

Do device coordinates use all 32 bits for newer versions of windows(xp,vista)?

depends on the device. What exactly are you refering to?

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.

Actually, the big difference between Windows NT and 95/98 is the fact that there was still a fair bit of 16-bit code in the 95/98 world, when the NT code was pure 32-bit code.
