Changing Screen resolution

Any easy way to chek the system screen size and change if needed?
For examble. if resolution is currently 1024-768 I would need it changed up to 1280x1024
Example code or link to same would be very helpful.

There are a number of ways to check the screen res and you will find some if you search the forums. However the Image Recognition library has a function which returns screen size so is probably simplest. You can download it at http://www.mjtnet.com/image_recognition.htm

I searched quite a bit and found several references to win32 API's of which I know nothing about and trying to wade thru the Microsoft site was a pain. Your suggestion gave me a call name to actually search for and I'm now happily on my way.

Thank you.

just move your mouse to x,y coordinates that are huge, then get the position of the cursor. Works every time.

MouseMove>4000,4000
GetCursorPos>maxX,maxY
mdl>%maxX% x %maxY%

this code returns 1279 x 1023 for a 1280 x 1024 resolution. You get the idea.
