Get dimensions?

[eudemon]

I feel dumb asking this, but is there no function that returns the current resolution of the irrlicht device? It seems like it would be simple and useful, but after searching the forums, API documentation, and the source itself for a little while, I cannot seem to find it.

I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to add myself if necesary though. Just wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

getVideoModeResolution

Ah, thanks.

This was exactly what I needed, thanks again.

Now, how would one check to see whether the device is fullscreen, or using a stencilbuffer or vsync? As far as I can tell neither, the device, nor the driver, nor the videoModeList has a function to return these parameters.

Also, whenever I use the getVideoModeDepth function, it returns a zero. Shouldn't this be either 16 or 32, depending on what the orginal parameter was in createDevice?

SIrrlichtCreationParameters

Yes, I know about SIrrlichtCreationParameters struct, but will that allow me to find information about a device that already exists? I thought it was strictly for use by the createDeviceEx() function.

I've replaced the several globals with the single struct, which is a little better I guess. But I'd still like to limit the global objects to the device itself if at all possible. Is there any way to access these parameters directly from the device, rather than using the seperate object to store them?

Also, I still am only getting a zero from getVideoModeDepth. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Code: Select all

video::IVideoModeList* modesExist = device->getVideoModeList();
s32 DesktopDepth = modesExist->getDesktopDepth();

[eudemon]

That gives me a zero as well.
