Getting ALL screen resolutions from 1 screen
Hi all, Platform: WinXP Rev: revStudio 4.0 I'm wanting to get all possible screen resolutions from a Windows computer. I know the screenRects gets the current resolution from all attached screens, but I want to get all possible screen resolution range settings from only 1 of the screens. Eg: on my computer screen, the range goes from 800x600 all the way to 1280x1024. I want to get each of the settings in this range. Anyone know if revStudio has this function or do I have to get it with a VBScript, or something?

I have just spent a quick 10 minures fossicking around in the RunRev Dictionary which seems, unfortunately, to suggest that one can only obtain the screen resolutions that monitors are currently set to by the OS. This is actually quite an old chestnut as I explored this a few years back when I wanted to reset an end-user's screen rect; but found that I couldn't. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Getting ALL screen resolutions from 1 screen
For Macs it appears someone put together a free terminal app that does this. I have not checked it out so proceed with caution. http://www.mowlem-enterprises.co.uk/ScreenUtil_v1.0.zip Bob On Jun 29, 2010, at 9:42 AM, Richmond wrote: On 06/29/2010 06:36 PM, Mark Stuart wrote: Hi all, Platform: WinXP Rev: revStudio 4.0 I'm wanting to get all possible screen resolutions from a Windows computer.

For windows systems: http://www.mirkes.de/files/batch_tools.zip In the archiv there is a display.exe: show or change display settings (resolution, frequency, bit depth) usage: display hwidth vheight [ffreq.] [bbit depth]: change display settings (e.g. h1024 v768 f60 b16) display /LIST: list all supported screen resolutions display /CUR: show current display settings display /?: shows this usage screen Regards Wolfgang Am 29.06.2010 17:36, schrieb Mark Stuart: Hi all, Platform: WinXP Rev: revStudio 4.0 I'm wanting to get all possible screen resolutions from a Windows computer.

Re: Getting ALL screen resolutions from 1 screen
Mark,
You can do this with VBScript - here's a script that gets all possible video
controller resolutions:
' List All Possible Video Controller Resolutions
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = .
Set objWMIService = GetObject(winmgmts: _
{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\ strComputer \root\cimv2)
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
(Select * from CIM_VideoControllerResolution)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo Horizontal Resolution: objItem.HorizontalResolution
Wscript.Echo Number Of Colors: objItem.NumberOfColors
Wscript.Echo Refresh Rate: objItem.RefreshRate
Wscript.Echo Scan Mode: objItem.ScanMode
Wscript.Echo Setting ID: objItem.SettingID
Wscript.Echo Vertical Resolution: objItem.VerticalResolution
Wscript.Echo
Next
Have fun!

Have fun!
I'd like to have fun on a cross-platform basis; and I'm sure
quite a few others would like to as well.
The most 'fun' would be had were this capability [to detect all possible
screen resolutions an end-user's monitor supports] and the ability to
change end--users' screen resolutions native to RunRev.
As my children seem to play endless games on Mac and Linux that do
reset the screen resolution (and put it back to its original one once the
games quits) I cannot belive it is unduly difficult.
Last time I raised this issue all sorts of people got hot under the collar
and said that it wasn't cricket to muck around with end-users' screen
resolutions; funny really when games do it all the time! Mind you, I have
yet to see a game of virtual cricket on a computer . . . :)

It works great at the DOS box and returns all the options and more. I'll script a Shell to get all values and then Filter the list to return unique values as: 800x600 1024x768 etc. BTW, is this your web site referenced above?
