SDK Question [solved] Screen size

[Goth]

How do you get Orbiter's screen size?
opcOpenRenderViewport is outdated and doesn't work anymore either.

I'm not sure if there is an Orbiter way to do it, but the Windows way to do it would be as follows:
1. Find the main orbiter HWND. Not sure how to do this, but Face did something similar in his OMP client here
2. Once you have the HWND, you can find the resolution by doing

  RECT orbiterResolution;
   // handle to Orbiter, found by some function
   const HWND hOrbiterWindow;
   GetWindowRect(hOrbiterWindow, &orbiterResolution);
   // The top left corner will have coordinates (0,0)
   // and the bottom right corner will have coordinates
   // (horizontal, vertical)
   int horizontal = desktop.right;
   int vertical = desktop.bottom;

How is opcOpenRenderViewport not working anymore?

Ok this was my problem:

opcOpenRenderViewport is called by Orbiter only if no instance of oapi::Module is created and registered during InitModule, or if a registered module does not overload the oapi::Module::clbkSimulationStart method.

You can't have both things. So I'll just comment out the Module class and use opcOpenRenderViewport for now.

oapiGetViewportSize (&ScreenWidth, &ScreenHeight, &ScreenColour);

It's on page 49 in the API_Reference.pdf.
