Type of computer/monitor
Posted: Sat Aug 03, 2024 06:24 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to determine the type of computer on which my application is running - PC or laptop?

If it is a PC, then you can determine the tim of the monitor - sensor or not?

you can use WMI and Win32_DesktopMonitor/MonitorType to find out if MonitorType = LCD it is a Laptop

to find Tim of Monitor try https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-changedisplaysettingsa

Some of the useful functions in FWH:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

FW_IsTouchScreen()
FW_IsMousePresent()
FW_IsTabletMode()
ScreenSize( [lInches] ) --> Screen Diameter in MM or Inches

We may try:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

if FW_IsTouchScreen() .and. !FW_IsMousePresent() .and. ;
   FW_IsTabletMode() .and. ScreenSize( .t. ) <= 10
? "tablet"
endif

Also try

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

GetSystemMetrics(SM_TABLETPC)

Right now, I don't have tablet PC with me to test.
You can provide your feedback.

Soon, we will try to add more functions about pen
