Remarks
Provides access to system metric information that might be useful in your applications as well as necessary for Windows 2000 Logo compliancy. System metrics such as mousewheel present, number of mouse buttons, and number of monitors are provided with the class, but any valid system metric can be queried.
To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut Menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro places the class icon on the form. You can specify the appropriate property values and provide any necessary input and output objects. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.
