Quick way to retrieve current screen resolution

Why use the Windows API when you can retrieve the current screen resolution using two simple variables?

Screen.Width
Screen.Height

Listing #1 : Delphi code. Download scrsize (0.16 KB).

Above variables will automatically get updated if the screen resolution were to change while the application is running.

MessageDlg(
  'screen width = ' + IntToStr( Screen.Width ) +
  ', screen height = ' + IntToStr( Screen.Height ),
  mtInformation, [mbOk], 0 );
