I already posted the simple code to do this assuming a single monitor where the desktop resolution is the same as the monitor.
For multi-monitor setups, you are probably best to find out which monitor the heather window is in (use MonitorFromWindow Api to get the handle of the monitor the Heather application is running in), and then use GetMonitorInfo().

Am I missing something? Why not just query the system, and ask it what it knows about the screen in use? Other software tools and utils can do it, I even remember doing it in QuickBasic back in the dark old DOS days, when you were seen as a minor deity if you had anything larger than a 640x480 screen. I'd be extremely surprised if there is no way to determine the screen geometry by a query to some part of the OS, or even the BIOS, if it's the native hardware resolution you need to know. Or is there a reason why LH can't do that? Is her whip not long enough or something? Rgards.
