Monitor function error
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2024 08:11 AM

I made easy

?ScreenHeight(),ScreenWidth() and give me 961, 1280 the screen resolution is actually different as you can see on picture

How it's possible ?
this is why one then makes a mistake in creating the dialogs in the right position

i.e. the resolution of ScreenWidth() is right the resolution of ScreenHeight() is bad compared to the screen resolution,there is a difference of 63

this

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

 ?   GetSysMetrics(0),GetSysMetrics(1)

is right

Since from 1991/1992 ( fw for clipper Rel. 14.4 - Momos)

I use : FiveWin for Harbour March-April 2024 - Harbour 3.2.0dev (harbour_bcc770_32_20240309) - Bcc7.70 - xMate ver. 1.15.3 - PellesC - mail: silvio[dot]falconi[at]gmail[dot]com

Silvio,

Fivewin uses the GetSysMetrics API with the SM_CXFULLSCREEN and SM_CYFULLSCREEN flags, as seen in C:\FWH\source\function\getsysin.prg.

These constants are designed to return the width and height of the client area for the primary display monitor, excluding the taskbar and other docked bars from the work area of the screen.

What are your values if you move the taskbar to the left or right?

Best regards,

Otto

ScreenHeight() excludes the taskbar height, and gives the height available for our program's window/display.
