How do I get the resolution of a window in C++?

Question

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    HDC Window = GetWindowDC(FindWindow(NULL,"Window Example Title"));


    return 0;
}

How could I get the resolution of a window, such as this?

"Resolution" doesn't mean much of anything. Don't lose the return value of FindWindow() and you can call GetWindowRect() to get the window *size*. — Hans Passant, Jul 06 '16 at 09:26
That question was the top google result for "resolution window api" - please try to do a little research first. — Martin Bonner supports Monica, Jul 06 '16 at 09:27
@MartinBonner On the other hand, it seems like the question is asking about a window property rather than a screen property. So it seems pretty unlikely that your Google search is going to be helpful. — David Heffernan, Jul 06 '16 at 09:43

Presumably you mean the available graphics area, which in Windows is called the client area.

You can use the GetClientRect function to find its current size.

There is a corresponding GetWindowRect for the window itself.
