Hello Tek-Tippers.

I was wondering if it is possible to programmatically select the display output using VB - for example on my laptop I have the option of displaying to the LCD, or monitor or TV (via the composite out)

I've been developing a video playback and multimedia system and would like to be able to select where the display goes.

I don't particularly need to use any flavour of hardware so if you've got a solution that only works on one type of hardware I'd still love to hear it.

Many thanks,

:)

Scotty.
 
are you talking about hardware of vga card or you are telling to detect the display signal where is going ?
 
Hi jonybd,

I would like to make the video signal come out of the VGA output or out of the tv-out (or both depending on what the video hardware can do).

Usually I do this by going to desktop>properties>advanced>displays and then choosing monitor, panel or TV.
I want to do this in a program.

All the bestand thanks for any help.

Scotty.
