RE: how do I determine screen size -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Thanks Doug

I keep forgetting to look through the API's; I am still not used to having
new and improved tools at my disposal - one of the draw backs of having been
around since the S/34 days, and not taking the time to keep up with the
really cool stuff.




I use one of the DSM (Dynamic Screen Manager APIs) which lets you
determine if the current device supports a given mode.  This is called
the Query Mode Support API, or QsnQryModSup.  The 27x132 format is
known as mode *DS4, although the api only has you pass the '4' when
checking if *DS4 is supported.

One example of using this API can be found at this link:
