I currently have this in a model:
Code:Option Explicit Private Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long Private Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0 Private Const SM_CYSCREEN = 1 ' Check whether screen resolution is set to 640x480 ' Returns True if the resolution is at 640x480 else ' False is returned Public Function GetScreenResolution640x480() As Boolean Dim lTemp As String ' Temporary string to hold returned screen ' resolution lTemp = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) & "x" & GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) ' Call the API function twice to return ' screen size for each axis as format into ' the temporary string If lTemp = "640x480" Then ' Check whether resolution is set to 640x480 GetScreenResolution640x480 = True ' True Else GetScreenResolution640x480 = False ' False End If End Function
and in the form load it says:
Code:If GetScreenResolution640x480 = True Then end End If
now is there a simple command that changes there screen to 800 X 600
or do I have to use what I downloaded from vb world
thanks in advance
