Of course, that is another way (and GDK does similar).  But not just
counting as you described in the previous mail.  And (another) person
would say why you call EnumDisplayMonitors twice whereas one call
suffices if you use some appropriate data structure (and why you use a
pointer to a static int variable rather than that to an automatic int
variable), if I proposed such a code first.
