Keeping Screen Resolution in Mind

I'm redoing an old Delph 5 app that forced a screen resolution of 640 x 480 on the users. At the time this application was deveopled that screen resolution was acceptable but not anymore. Todays endless arrays of screen resolutions brings on new challenges. One of the things I plan on doing at application start is interrogate the current screen resolution and set my application screen size to a ratio of 80%.

I'm amazed at how much information is available. Here is a nice graph that shows the top 10 screen resolutions in use from 2008 through 2012.

Add MultiMon to the uses clause The button click event lets you move the program between two monitors to get the screen resolution.

procedure TScreenResolution.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  MonInfo: TMonitorInfo;
  ScreenW, ScreenH : integer;
begin
  MonInfo.cbSize := SizeOf(MonInfo);
  GetMonitorInfo(MonitorFromWindow(Handle, MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST), @MonInfo);
  ScreenW :=  MonInfo.rcMonitor.Right  - MonInfo.rcMonitor.Left;
  ScreenH :=  MonInfo.rcMonitor.Bottom - MonInfo.rcMonitor.Top;
  Label2.Caption := IntToStr(ScreenW);
  Label4.Caption := IntToStr(ScreenH);
end;

FireMonkey Update - 05/13/2012:

I'd like to thank Whiler from StackOverflow for a FireMonkey example using FX.Platform:

Does FireMonkey have anything similar to GetSystemMetrics?
