# 1 Re: Get Screen area
Look at GetDeviceCaps with HORZSIZE/VERTSIZE and HORZRES/VERTRES# 2 Re: Get Screen area
CRect rect;GetClientTect (&rect);
// rect now has rect.top, rect.bottom, rect.right and rect.left window size.

Sorry.I want to know the (API) function to get the System Screen Size.For exaple 800 X 600, 640 X 480.
# 4 Re: Get Screen area
HDC hdc = ::GetDC(NULL);int x = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, HORZRES); returns 600 (800)
int y = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, VERTRES); returns 480 (600)
::ReleaseDC(NULL, hdc);
# 5 Re: Get Screen area
You can also try CWnd::GetDesktopWindow()->GetWindowRect(&rect), if you are using MFC. Or ::GetWindowRect(::GetDesktopWindow(), &rect)# 6 Re: Get Screen area
The following code will get the width and height, in pixels, of the screen of the primary display monitor:int nScreenWidth = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
int nScreenHeight = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)
