Get screen width, height etc. in X++ code

I took me a bit longer than expected to Google the solution for this Dynamics AX X++ coding question, as I was did not have the keyword “system metrics” in mind. Maybe this post will help someone to be 2 minutes faster in finding the solution.

static void test_WinAPI_getSystemMetrics(Args _args)
{
    #WinAPI
    int screenWidth, screenHeight;
    ;
    screenWidth = WinAPI::getSystemMetrics(#SM_CXSCREEN);
    screenHeight = WinAPI::getSystemMetrics(#SM_CYSCREEN);
    info(strfmt("Screen resolution: %1 x %2",screenWidth, screenHeight));
