DECLARE INTEGER GetDC IN Win32API;

INTEGER hWnd
DECLARE INTEGER GetDeviceCaps IN Win32API;

INTEGER hWnd, INTEGER hDC

* Next, get a valid (greater than zero) device context
lnhDC = GetDC(0)

* Get the number of planes
lnplanes = GetDeviceCaps(lnhDC, 14)

*Get the bits per pixel
lnpixels = GetDeviceCaps(lnhDC, 12)

*Calculate the number of colors
lnnumclrs = 2 ^ (lnplanes * lnpixels)

*Finally, release the device context
= ReleaseDC(0, lnhDC)
