You want the GetSystemMetric s function from the pywin32
packge:

<code>
from win32api import GetSystemMetric s
print "width =", GetSystemMetric s (0)
print "height =",GetSystemMet rics (1)

</code>

Please think about the fact that people sometimes now have 2 and even
3 monitors. Don't do anything with this that would stretch your
application across all 2 (or 3) monitors. I think screensize isn't
going to give you enough information to automatically size or
position a window.

Hello all: To deal with the problem of differing user screen resolutions, I've explored: 1) making the pages in PHP, 2) having different pages on the same page and selecting the proper one via JavaScript, and 3) using fancy redirects and forced "back skip" redirects with cookies. Every approach has some fatal flaw as far as I have been able to persue it. My most recent idea is to make multiple style sheets (selectable via javascript...

I understand that there are several ways to effectively control the browser delivery of HTML to make the most effective use of the different screen resolutions today. (And in the foreseeable future...) I have a client with a text based site (displays a lot of labour law) which is being read in a range of resolutions and he wants a rewrite as a long term solution to browser resolution compatibility.

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800 x 600, and the apps are too large for their screen. I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a form with the mouse and all the controls and fonts would resize to larger or smaller size. Does .Net framework 3.5 support this kind of functionality? Or -...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
