DesktopWidth()

Syntax

Result = DesktopWidth(#Desktop)

Returns the width for the specified desktop.

Parameters

#Desktop

The index of the desktop. Should be always zero as only one web page is active at once.

Return value

Returns the width in pixels. The returned value is DPI independant, which means it's not the real pixel count if the DPI factor is not 1. To get the real pixel count, use DesktopScaledX() to scale the result (the 'DPI Aware' switch needs to be activated).

Remarks

ExamineDesktops() must be called before using this function to retrieve information about the available desktops.

Example

  ExamineDesktops()
  MessageRequester("Current resolution = " + DesktopWidth(0) + "x" +  DesktopHeight(0) + "x" + DesktopDepth(0))

Example: Real pixel width

  ExamineDesktops()
  MessageRequester("Real physical resolution = " + DesktopScaledX(DesktopWidth(0)) + "x" +  DesktopScaledY(DesktopHeight(0)) + "x" + DesktopDepth(0))
