BigDan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I recently discovered that you can do this (at least w/ my PC) by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Cursor. For the Cursor key, you press the direction you want the top of the screen to be. So, if you want your display to be upside-down... Send("^!{down}") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persen Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Well it's not for a single comp, so im afraid it won't work. I need it with a DLL call or similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uten Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 How odd, I'm just searching for the same thing. Pleas post if you find anything useful @Persen. Wonder if I did see a sample in a resource kit once (NT4)? I did not have any luck searching msdn thought. Anyone else have some input on this? Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
this-is-me Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 This functionality is part of the video card drivers. On nvidia cards and intel graphic cards, it is possible to set a hotkey through the software that will change the screen orientation. However, if the driver does not support it, I believe nothing else will. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshrum Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 The rotation thing like stated above is video card related. I can confirm that the ATI cards also have the hotkey rotation capability as this is what I have. Each manufacturer uses different hotkeys or does not define one at all (user-defined).You might find one of my projects of interest as it deals with automating screen rotations. I used AutoIT to create hotkey EXEs and then wrote a com port monitoring app (also in AutoIT) to monitor what orientation my flat panel was in using a standard old-fashioned mercury switch (~$2).Ultimately, I have 'automated screen rotation' whenever I rotate my flat panel...the screen automagically switches to the orientation that it is in for about $5 worth of parts!Full dets, app, help, photos, DIY instructions, etc are here: http://www.shrum.net/code/mercmonEnjoy!
