I found this answer, with external libraries, but I just want to know, is there any way I can get a monitor's dimensions using default libraries in C/C++?

Also, I came to know that the headers "Wtypes.h" and "MacTypes.h" can help, but it is not clear how to use them. Can someone please guide me through this?

This cannot be done using Standard C++ only. You will need to use your OS's libraries to obtain the information. – Richard Critten Jan 16 '22 at 19:43

Which screen do you want the dimensions of (for systems with > 1 monitor)? – Marshall Clow Jan 16 '22 at 21:59
