Hello,

for some reasons like
- create a font (without a real form)
- dimension of desktop

I need access to a default Form / Desktop form.

In which way, it is possible with windows::forms.

In MFC I use 'GetDesktopWindow()'.

Is 'Win32-API GetDesktopWindow()' is only way ?

So long

well, you don't need any Form for that, just new Font()
- dimension of desktop

well you don't need a font for that: Screen.AllScreens[0].WorkingArea?

1. there is no such function in SWF (but you could always use your own
private invisible Form)
2. you could alway PInvoke GetDesktopWindow()

to set the correct size, I need the DpiY from a Graphics object.

But
-------
Form ^fm = gcnew Form();
Graphics ^g = fm->CreateGraphics();
int logy = g->DpiY;
g->Dispose();
fm = nullptr;
