Inspired by original thread. All credit should go to psandu.ro, I just converted his code into a UDF and modified it slightly.

Here's a simple example of how it is called and used:

[ code='text' ]    ( Popup )

#include <ChangeResolution.au3>

$iWidth = 1024
$iHeight = 768
$iBitsPP = 32
$iRefreshRate = 60

$vRes = _ChangeScreenRes($iWidth, $iHeight, $iBitsPP, $iRefreshRate)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(262160, "ERROR", "Unable to change screen - check parameters")
EndIf

Format for the UDF is as follows:

[ code='text' ]    ( Popup )

#include <ChangeResolution.au3>
_ChangeScreenRes( [Width [, Height [, BitsPerPixel [, RefreshRate]]]] )

Parameters
Width - [optional] Width of the desktop screen in pixels. (horizontal resolution). Default (-1) is @DeskTopWidth
Height - [optional] Height of the desktop screen in pixels. (vertical resolution). Default (-1) is @DesktopHeight
BitsPerPixel - [optional] Depth of the desktop screen in bits per pixel. Default (-1) is @DesktopDepth
RefreshRate - [optional] Refresh rate of the desktop screen in hertz. Default (-1) is @DesktopRefresh

Return Value
Success: Screen is adjusted, @ERROR = 0
Failure: Sets @ERROR = 1

Remarks
Current screen parameters may be left unchanged by using '-1' as the parameter.

Forgot to add, not sure if it runs on all variants of Windows (I can only test it on XP). Appreciate if you would let me know if it fails on a particular variant.

WOW, that is really impressive!

Nice work PartyPooper... FYI - Works on XP Pro SP2 Corp.

Edit:
(Warning... don't stare at your screen when it changes :wacko: ... My eyes are still focusing!! :lol: )

Cool. Thanks all. I'm going to use it in my FastGaming program as part of the Screen Adjuster option.

@Sreenath you need the beta http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/

@PartyPooper
Works really well. Nice job

[steve8tch]

Can this be submitted to be included with the official AutoIt UDFs that get installed by AutoIt ?

[marfdaman]

Seems like a good idea to me :idea:

Thanks although most of the credit goes to psandu.ro - I just massaged his work to make a UDF.

PartyPooper hi all wokks but the code will not exit

here is code i used #include <ChangeResolution.au3>


_ChangeScreenRes(800,600,32,60)
If @error Then
MsgBox(262160, "ERROR", "Unable to change screen - check parameters")
EndIf

Exit


why will it not exit the autoit icon says on the toolbar

thanks for any help beau

[PartyPooper]

Exits fine for me using your code above both as a compiled exe and within SciTE. Since no one else has reported a problem with it exiting, it's more than likely something on your computer (bad AutoIt install perhaps, wrong AutoIt version??). Sorry, I can't be of more help.

holy carp batman! You do realize how old this topic is, don't you?

this should probably be in Support too... but anyway, are you running the latest beta?

[Venus]

i change the screenresolution via system display setting, how to get the result about whether change the resolution successfully?

[PartyPooper]

See the RETURN Values in the first post.

[CasaCorupta]

TOP WORK!
