Is there a clean and easy way to automatically have the program detect the system resolution and then change accordingly in full screen?

I think i'm supposed to use dbPerformChecklistForDisplayModes to get the resolution, but how do i use that so that dbSetDisplayMode can take that output and use it to change the resolution automatically?

Sorry for the lame question, i'm new to programming

To get the desktop resolution you can use the GetSystemMetrics function, for example:

i think i found a way... it seems to work, it seems quick enough when it comes to auto-synch the resolution:

dbScreenWidth, dbScreenHeight and dbScreenDepth return the width, height and depth of the current GDK display not the desktop. So by using the code that you posted is just setting the display mode to the current mode in use.

Using the method I stated above will get the required dimensions that you need.
