Supplying insufficient information is a good way of getting your question removed. Please supply specific details of what you're doing and why.

Ahh...

You are not getting the screen resolution, you are getting the currrent window dimensions and the task bar you are talking about is the windows task bar yes ??

I had to do this once but it's not on my work laptop. I'll check when I get home tonight.

Thanks Richard,

That's right, I'm talking about the windows taskbar.

I have tried to get windos resolution by API, but I have not succeeded :(.

refer to windows forums; it's not an ABAP question.

Forgives,

I think it is. I need to get windows resolution from Abap, because depending on that I generate buttons in an HTML container with height and width defined by resolution.

Hi Sandra,

I have already tried using the Api windows and I have also tried to read from the windows registry, but it did not work :(.

If you can't do it using Windows functions, then why would ABAP be able to do it? No, it's certain you just didn't search enough or you didn't ask in Windows forums.

By the way, I'm surprised that you can't do it using javascript (inside HTML). Otherwise, I would "overkill" the by doing it first in VBA/DLL (Word, Excel...), then I would access the result from ABAP. Stephan Schnell has published several posts for DLL/ABAP communication.

Hi Sandra

With JavaScript it works, but I need to get the resolution before running the html container. Now I'll look at Stephan Schnell's messages about ABAP / DLL.

Thank you!
