How can I get VA to detect the current desktop resolution?

Hi, Jerry.  You're going to want to use an inline function for that, as you would need to be specific about what display you're trying to address.  'Primary screen', all screens, screen X, the screen VA is currently located on, etc.  (gets a little bit hairy).

Assuming you want the size of the primary display, that can be done using an inline function like
Code: [Select]
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class VAInline
{
public void main()
{
Rectangle screenArea = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;

VA.SetInt("screenWidth", screenArea.Width);
VA.SetInt("screenHeight", screenArea.Height);
}
}
which should set the "screenWidth" and "screenHeight" variables to the relevant values.
