    Question Change res. with a double-click

    Hi all,
    I'm look for a software for changing resulotion.
    like Quickres, but without selection.
    Normally I work on 800x600, but one softwate need to be run on 640x480.
    I will create a batch file like this:
    SETREZ xxx
    MyProg
    SETREZ xxx

    10X, Dan

    Try making a VB program, heres some code:

    Option Explicit
    Const WM_DISPLAYCHANGE = &H7E
    Const HWND_BROADCAST = &HFFFF&
    Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
    Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
    Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
    Const EWX_FORCE = 4
    Const CCDEVICENAME = 32
    Const CCFORMNAME = 32
    Const DM_BITSPERPEL = &H40000
    Const DM_PELSWIDTH = &H80000
    Const DM_PELSHEIGHT = &H100000
    Const CDS_UPDATEREGISTRY = &H1
    Const CDS_TEST = &H4
    Const DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL = 0
    Const DISP_CHANGE_RESTART = 1
    Const BITSPIXEL = 12

    End Select
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim nDC As Long
    'retrieve the screen's resolution
    OldX = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
    OldY = Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
    'Create a device context, compatible with the screen

    'Change the screen's resolution
    ChangeRes 800, 600, GetDeviceCaps(nDC, BITSPIXEL)
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    'restore the screen resolution
    ChangeRes OldX, OldY, GetDeviceCaps(nDC, BITSPIXEL)
    'delete our device context
    DeleteDC nDC
    End Sub


    Just stick that into a form and run the app Or do you want me to compile it for you?
