Screen Information

Hi,

How can I query the resolution of the screen (ie 1024x768 etc) and if required cause a resolution change.

Thanks

If you are in MFC and you use the CDC class, then you can use the function in that class called int CDC::GetDeviceCaps(int nIndex). For the screen resolution nIndex is HORZRES and VERTRES. Check out MSDN for the full list of nIndexes if you are curious.

Thank your for the response. Is that the only way it can be queried and or changed? What about if you have a CDialog app?

Thanks

It can work in a dialog application, just declare a CDC. I'm certain there is another way, but am not sure exactly what it is.
