Getting the windows bit depth

EnumDisplaySettings?

How 'bout GetDeviceCaps(hdc,BITSPIXEL)?

// EDIT:
This is probably better

GetDeviceCaps(hdc,COLORRES)

quote:

---

BITSPIXEL Number of adjacent color bits for each pixel

COLORRES Actual color resolution of the device, in bits per pixel. This index is valid only if the device driver sets the RC_PALETTE bit in the RASTERCAPS index and is available only if the driver is compatible with 16-bit Windows.

bpp = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PLANES) * GetDeviceCaps(hdc, BITSPIXEL);

Thanks alot.

EDIT:
For reference, I have tried both the
GetDeviceCaps(hdc,COLORRES)
and the
GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PLANES) * GetDeviceCaps(hdc, BITSPIXEL);
methods, and in the second one seems to work better. In 32 bpp for instance the first method gives 24 while the second gives 32.

In 16 bpp the first method gives 24 while the second one gives 16.

And again thanks to everyone !

WHO DO THEY
THINK THEY'RE
FOOLING : YOU ?
