when i try to find out what the current size of the screen is I keep getting the maximum size for the screen. here is the code:
I guess that I am using this wrong?Code:x = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); TextOut(hdc,cxChar,cyChar,szBuffer,wsprintf(szBuffer,"Screen size is %i",x));
[edit] I am not sure why it is putting a space in szBuffer
Do you want to get metrics for your window? Then you use either GetWindowRect or GetClientRect as appropriate. GetSystemMetrics will give you the size of the screen for the primary display.
