Heres a question. I am trying to center the window that is created by DGK. I can go full screen, (such as my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 and the window that is generated is 1024 x 768. I am trying to center that in the center of my screen. What is the best approach to do this?

That's what I was trying to get was the Desktops view port so I could center it properly. So what I this system Metrics function?

// Update a few minutes later..
As scary as that is the code must be part of the basic libraries.. it just compiled and got the desired results.

! Thanks. Now I can center the window.

note: Should post this into the Code bites section...

The GetSystemMetrics function is part of the Windows API, specifically User32. FG77's suggestion and Juggalo Memnoch's code will produce the same result. If you prefer to center the window on the desktop client area, replace SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN with SM_CXFULLSCREEN and SM_CYFULLSCREEN. This function can be used to return a lot of information. For full info on this function visit msdn.
