SUMMARY

You can programmatically determine the current video resolution by using the SYSMETRIC() function. SYSMETRIC(1) returns the current screen width in pixels, and SYSMETRIC(2) returns the current screen height in pixels. Combining these two function calls will give the current video resolution.

Example

   WAIT WINDOW "The Current Video Resolution is ";
      + LTRIM(STR(SYSMETRIC(1)))+ " X " + LTRIM(STR(SYSMETRIC(2)))
