Sizes of the screen

[driessen]

Hello,

How can I read the sizes of my screen ?

MaxCol() and MaxRow() don't work properly, respectivally returning 79 x 23, knowing I use a screen 1280 x 1024.

Thanks.

Richard,

Thanks a lot for you answer.

I'm afraid though that this doesn't solve my problem.

I use this code to position a Word-window from my FWH-application :

Code: Select all

      OleSetProperty(hWordOle,"Top",43)
      OleSetProperty(hWordOle,"Left",0)
      OleSetProperty(hWordOle,"Width",768)
      OleSetProperty(hWordOle,"Height",553)

This way, I always can see my FWH-bar and everything from Word.

I need to use 768 as a value for maximum width and 553 for the height (it is the maximum height - 2 cm) to present my Word-window the way I want to.

I can't see the link between 1280 (returned by oWnd:nHorzRes()) and the value 768 I have to use.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Use the following to get the screen resolution :

nSCR1 := GetSysMetrics(0) // 1024
nSCR2 := GetSysMetrics(1) // 768

Hello Rick,

Thanks for your reaction.

Unfortunately I don't see any difference between GetSysMetrics() and oWnd:nHorzRes() or oWnd:nVertRes(). The results are the same.

Problem is that Word needs other value to set a maximum width. I tested it by using the example I sent before. The Value 768 results in a Word window with a maximum width.

Thanks anyway.

I assume you want to know how to do the same thing for different screen resolutions? It seems that Word is not using pixels, so perhaps you can just use the ratios:

nWidth := GetSysMetrics(0) * ( 768 / 1280 )
nHeight := GetSysMetrics(1) * ( 553 / 1024 )

James,

Thanks for you suggestion.

I'll try it out.
