How to display display color depth?

[Phil Wright]

I need to know if the display color depth is 8bit, 16bit and so forth.

Cannot find it available under SystemInformation, any ideas?

Oops,

I meant 'How to discover display color depth?'

Use Interop and call GetDeviceCaps passing in the handle to the window or
the desktop.
