will it give like 240*320 for a mobile device which is having screen size 240*320?

Thanks,

In case of GUI applications, ApplicationRect is even better, and especially CEikonEnv::ScreenDevice, then CWsScreenDevice::SizeInPixels for example.
You may also succeed in creating CWsScreenDevice in GUI-less code, apparently you need a Window Server session for that.
And HAL may also help you (like EDisplayXPixels and EDisplayYPixels).

hi...

u can get it from the Container Class...

void LayoutControls()
{
// Print the Following 2 things..

Rect().Width();
Rect().Height();
}

Well, the container class is exactly the one which does not know the size of the screen. That Rect is set via SetRect in construction-time. Setting it to 5,5-10,15 obviously will not cause your display to be 5x10 pixels large.

If u try to get the size from the Draw Function,it wud return (0,0)

but if u try to get it from LayOutControl as i suggested, it will give u the size of the Client-Area.. i have done the same..

AknLayoutUtils::LayoutMetricsRect will give you the sizes the current screen artifacts.
