Ccurrent display settings

Hi

I just want to have my game launched in full screen with the current display setting of my monitor.

How to know the current resolution of the screen ?

Thanks

Hi there,

The way i did this, was to use following user32.dll decls:
http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1179

copy and paste this into notepad and put it in to my 'C:\Program Files\Blitz3D\userlibs'. Save this as 'User32.decls'.

Then in my code right at the start i put the following

Const title$ = "blitzapp"

Const SM_CXSCREEN		= 0
Const SM_CYSCREEN		= 1

window_w = api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); 640
window_h = api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN); 480
Graphics3D window_w, window_h, 0, 1

AppTitle title$

blitz_hnd = api_FindWindow("Blitz Runtime Class", title$) ; Find this window

api_SetWindowLong(blitz_hnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_VISIBLE)	; Set the windows style flags

api_MoveWindow(blitz_hnd, (api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) - window_w) Shr 1, (api_GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) - window_h) Shr 1, window_w, window_h, 1)

Work fine on my basic small demo,

BTW you don't need to use the FindWindow function to get the HWND of your app (this also doesn't allow multiple apps with the same apptitle), instead use

blitz_hnd%=Systemproperty$("AppHWND")

Thanks a lot !

It works fine and takes me 5 min of implementation.
I really thanks the community, and you nrasool.

This code is very usefull for public apps, because i think a lot of people doesn't knew what 1024*768 is supposed to means !
