On my 1920 x 1080 monitor, and running in full screen mode, GetDeviceHeight() reports a figure of 768 and GetDeviceWidth() reports 1024. Only when I use the commands GetMaxDeviceHeight() and GetMaxDeviceWidth() do I get the respective figures of 1080 and 1920. Given this, I was curious as to the function of GetDeviceHeight() and GetDeviceWidth(), should they not just report the current resolution?

I would guess that on Windows, the Device Size is what you set in setWindowSize(). The window is essentially the device. For mobile devices, it will be the physical device size.

Many thanks BatVink. I think for now the only safe way of knowing the resolution in Windows is to call GetMaxDeviceHeight() and GetMaxDeviceWidth()

I believe GetDeviceWidth/Height() will return the buffer size, while GetMaxDeviceWidth/Height() are the screen resolution.
