kjpolker Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I recently ran into a need to switch my source input on my monitor and I thought to myself, before I buy a KVM or find software that is still in support (quick search found limited availability) why not see if AutoIt is capable? There is a protocol called Display Data Channel which apparently allows Graphics Adapters to communicate with Displays, allowing you to adjust brightness, source, and ideally whatever your monitor is capable of. Can anyone here nudge me in a direction to achieve this or know if it can be done at all with AutoIt's library?
Nine Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Look into my signature for Monitor Management. I believe this is what you are looking for... “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Debug Messages Monitor UDF Screen Scraping Round Corner GUI UDF Multi-Threading Made Easy Interface Object based on Tag
kjpolker Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) That looks to be exactly what I am looking for. Although it's a tad over my head I will try and dissect it all and figure out the parameters for source. Thank you! A UDF of that would be amazing! Edited October 26, 2021 by kjpolker
