I Am trying to find the size of the desktop monitor using GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) and GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN). As soon as I add this to my code I get errors such as:

3 Unresovled externals. LNK2001 unresolved external symbol "extern "C" int __stdcall GetSystemMetrics(int)"

I think I need to link win32 but when i add #pragma comment(lib, "win32.lib") to my code I also get an error saying it cannot find it.

Thanks for any help.

give User32.lib a try in place of win32.lib – user4581301 Mar 31 '17 at 00:16
