Sorry you want to set the screen resolution not get the resolution:

If this is going out to customers you do need to be careful. Some of the older VDUs don't support higher resolutions and refresh rates (even though the video cards do). It is possible to cause damage to some of the older VDUs by sending data at rates they don't support.

Some users may also consider it bad manners to reset their hardware settings without warning!

I like that. It's bad manners (that was good). I got a picture of the user in my mind and I couldn't stop lauging.

The ocx's in the link I set only display the supported resolutions for the graphics card, so it won't "destroy" the user's hardware.

My concern is with the VDU not the graphics card. Your link picks up graphics card settings correctly, but the card can't see if there's a crummy old VGA monitor on the other end of the wire.

Cannot argue with that logic. I was just answering the question.

is there anyway to change screen resolution, maybe with windows API, i need the coding with windows API. So when i click a command button, the screen resolution change from example : from 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 (with windows API)

Thanks everyone
