    A device context (DC) is a structure that defines a set of graphic objects and their associated attributes, and the graphic modes that affect output.

    By width and height I’m guessing you are referring to the bitmap painted ?
    If so then i guess you can try the following :

    BITMAP structBitmapHeader;
memset( &structBitmapHeader, 0, sizeof(BITMAP) );

HGDIOBJ hBitmap = GetCurrentObject(hDC, OBJ_BITMAP);
GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(BITMAP), &structBitmapHeader);

//structBitmapHeader.bmWidth
//structBitmapHeader.bmHeight
