Resolution: How to get the info and how to resize it

[mrRee]

I had wrote a program on 1024x768 screen resolution...and when I try to run it on 800x600, the windows and all the button looks bigger..

How can I get the screen resolution from the computer that run the program...

and how can I resize the application to fit the resolution....any help is appreciated

//no MFC stuff please :)

getting the resulotion is simple you can just call ::GetSystemMetrics () Api with SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN and you will have the screen size.

regurding your application i dont know how you design it, are you creating the controls at run time? and using SetWindowPos to place them? or u build the whole gui at design time?

if i helped dont forget to rate :-)

thanx...I use dialog box as my window and create it at design time...

if you dont have a lot of controls and dilalogs you might consider arrange all the controls + dialogs with ::SetWindowPos(..) api acrroding to the resolution.

i cant think of somehting else in the moment :-(

actually that was my real problem...because the dialog box consist a load of controls...and the application also will call another dialog boxes for different usage...

//don't worry...rate it is :)
