Make your DBPro programs automatically detect the user's screen resolution.

This code demonstrates how to automatically detect the screen size of the user's monitor. No more "do you want to run this in 800x600 or 1280x1024 mode?" messages!

Note: Must be compiled in 640x480 Windowed Fullscreen for best effect. The program will then automatically switch to ????x???? Fullscreen Exclusive mode.
