Change Screen Resolution

I have been able to determine the resolution on the users machine, but
i am looking for a way to force the resolution to 1024 X 768 if it is
not that already. Can someone please help me with this. Also, is
there a way to progromatically move the users taskbar back to the top
or the bottom if it is located on either the left or right side of the
screen? Thanks.

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...

Hi folks, this is a resolution-detect script that I used on a site. As you can see it is designed to detect when the screen resolution falls below a certain level then load an alternative style sheet HOWEVER, is it possible to make a change to the code that will not only make it respond to windows with widths of less than 800 pixels but ALSO heights of less than 600 pixels. I'm a complete novice when it comes to .js so and help would...

Hi I'm developing a webpage that needs to include a different stylesheet depending on the screen resolution. I know that I could read the resolution in javascript and then do some sort of stylesheet switcher as part of the onload event but I would rather link in the correct stylesheet for the resolution in the first place.

Hi, I have an application that is best viewed at 1024x768. I know that changing the screen resolution might cause some problems, but it's very important that I go on with this. So my plan is, to create a module in my application, that holds the current screen width and height (I already done this and it's working) . So now I want to change the screen resolution when I load the application, and later on , I will handle the onClose event...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
