Is it possible to get the value of the current screen resolution?

this function.

The LabVIEW Windows Utility Library [link removed; example no longer available] has a VI that returns screen size.

[eh]

This VI will give you the promary workspace. If you use windows, you can down load the LabVIEW windows utilites (LVWUTIL). There is a VI that will give you the resolution.

Hi John,

Select a property node from the "Application Control" palette. The node will default to VI Server Class "Application." Right click and select "Properties -> Display -> Primary Display." This property will give you the bounds of the primary display (left, top, right, bottom).

In certain situations I find it more useful than "screen resolution" when dealing with dual head machines, and it also takes into account the taskbar size.

Good luck,
Duffey
