Alternatively ....you'll have to get familiar with the following Win32 
API call:

BOOL EnumMonitors(
    LPTSTR pName,    // pointer to server name
    DWORD Level,    // structure level
    LPBYTE pMonitors,    // pointer to structure array
    DWORD cbBuf,    // size, in bytes, of buffer
    LPDWORD pcbNeeded,    // addr. of variable with no. of bytes copied 
(or required)
    LPDWORD pcReturned     // addr. of variable with no. of job info. 
structures copied
   );
