How to find out DC's dimensions?

Question

Let\'s say I have a handle to device context (naturally, in Windows environment):

HDC hdc;

How can I get the width and height of it?

Answer 1

As a disclaimer, I know nothing about GDI or what you have to work with in your application. I'm just trying to be helpful if possible.

That said, I found a link which seems to suggest that it's appropriate to use GetClientRect to get the size of the drawing area:

RECT clientRect;

GetClientRect(hWnd,&clientRect);
