GetSystemMetrics is a handy function you can use to get all sorts of global dimensions, like the size of an icon or height of a window caption. In Windows 2000, there are new parameters like SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN and SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN to get the virtual size of the screen for multiple monitor systems. Windows newbies—and pros, too—should check out the documentation for GetSystemMetrics to see all the different system metrics (dimensions) you can get. See the Platform SDK for the latest at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/sysinfo_8fjn.asp. GetSystemMetrics is a handy function you frequently need to use, and new stuff appears with every version of Windows.
