hook resolution change

[enneract]

I have a script which polls the desktop resolution every 30 seconds looking for a change to a particular resolution.

Is there a way to use autoit to hook the resolution change system event, so that this script becomes more efficient and responds instantly to the change?

I'm not finding anything specific to this on search, if someone could point me in the right direction?

And, of course, cursory investigation yields fruit.

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_DiSPLAYCHANGE, "Do_Something")

this would work, right?

And is there any reason why I shouldn't use

GUICreate("", 0,0,0,0)

since GUIRegisterMsg requires a gui element to recieve the notification?

I think GUICreate("") would be sufficient, just dont show the GUI with GuiSetState() ...
