is there a way to return the current desktop width height and c.depth?

Of course:

hdc = api_GetDC(api_GetActiveWindow())
cx = api_getdevicecaps(hdc,8)
cy = api_getdevicecaps(hdc,10)
Col = api_getdevicecaps(hdc,12)

You will need user32.decls on your userlibs. Check the codearchives.

Cheers.

hmm, it returns cannot find api_getdevicecaps, it seems to like the other two calls tho?

perhaps api_getdevicecaps is included on the gdi32.dll
