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 in VB.NET. 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.

Speaking as a user, any application that forces a change in MY screen
resolution and moves MY taskbar, is a poorly designed piece of crap
application. Suggest you rethink you design.

Gene,
As you know do I write this as well forever. There is one exception.
If the program is only used in one organisation which has this as rule.
(Although in my idea they can than spent there time better, therefore those
rules are mostly temporaly: until this is seen and those who makes this
rules are fired)

Cor,
The only possible exceptions are games - Doom.Net anyone? <shudder /> -
where you may need to switch to a known resolution.
If an organisation insists on a standard screen resolution, then there
is /no need/ for any application to change it - it should already be set
the way it's supposed to be.

Phill W.

I good game does that not need anymore, I see a lot of those.

But you cannot easy protect that. However as said I find it a real strange
organisation who tells there employees how height their chair (which is
changable) has to be. To give an anology.

I need some help with some VB language that will change the screen

Any help with this effort would be deeply appreciated.

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...
