Hi,

If you're using Windows, a call to WinAPI32 is possible using the following code:

HDC screen = GetDC(NULL); 
int hSize=GetDeviceCaps(screen,HORZSIZE); int hRes=GetDeviceCaps

(screen,HORZRES); float PixelsPerMM=(float)hRes/hSize;// pixels per millimeter float

PixelsPerInch=PixelsPerMM*25.4; //dpi

GetDeviceCaps is a function that also gives information on printers resolution.

Regards Smile
