GetDesktopWindow()

Code:

---

        RECT desktop_rect;

        GetWindowRect(GetDesktopWindow(), &desktop_rect);

---

My PC has two monitors - each of which is 1600x1200. Therefore I expected the above code to return a rectangle of 3200x1200 for my desktop window. However, it only returned 1600x1200. What have I done wrong... :confused:

This is by design with compatibility with older applications. It always returns the rectangle of the primary monitor. You need to call EnumDisplayMonitors() to get information about each monitor.

Thanks. I was able to fix it after reading those articles :thumb:
