resolution change

Hello,

my website is best viewed, and specially designed for 1024 X 786 and higher,
when shown on 800 X 600 it look horrible, now is it possible when the viewer
enters my site, his/her resolution will be changed automatically to 1024 X
768?

No. And resolution doesn't really matter. In my browser, you can't
even resize the browser window to that size, even if I am running my
screen at 1600x1200 (which also means that I would hunt you down and
staple you to a wall, if you ever managed to change my resolution to
puny 1024x768).

For the next question you should ask ("What can I do then?"), the
answer is to not design your page for a specific size.

if (and only if) the full benefits of your site can only be obtained with
1024x768 resolution, I think you should also devise a less rich version that
will give a subset of the functionality on different devices

Use percentages for all you html tags.

You'd be waiting in a very long queue :-)

Is there a way to force a change in a user's screen resolution using VBA code without having any input from the user? Example: User John Backwards has his screen set to 800 x 600 pixels. Backwards loads an Access app that needs at least 1024 x 768 pixels so the app, on load, changes the screen resolution for him to 1024 x 768.

Hi All. I am using VC++/Visual Studio 6.0. I can get the current screen resolution with GetSystemMetrics(), but how do you change the screen resolution ? I guess I couldn't find a SetSystemMetrics() function or equivalent. Ideallly, I'd like to avoid messing up with DirectX or the display drivers directly. I suppose there must be an abstraction layer in VS that allows to do that. However, I'll take any suggestion at this point...

I am wondering how (if it is possible of course) I can change a users screen resolution to a certain size when running my application and then change it back when they exit my application. For instance, if the users screen size is 800x600, I want the resolution to change to 1260x780 when running my program and then change back to 800x600 when exiting my program. Thanks, Darian

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
