Function to get Nvidia information

[bentom]

Hi,

I have an Nvidia card here and the latest driver installed. There are some nice hotkey that you can use for turning on and off the CloneMode. Is it possible to get the information if the clonemode is on or off?

I know that there are several dll calls but I didN#t find a proper one yet

Thanks for your help

Regards,

Alex

$Msg = ""
$aResult = DllCall("nvcpl.dll","int","NvGetWindowsDisplayState","int",1)
If @ERROR Then
    $Msg = "@ERROR: " & @ERROR
Else
    Switch $aResult[0]
        Case -1
            $Msg = "Unknown state or view mode."
        Case 0
            $Msg = "The call failed internal error"
        Case 1
            $Msg = "Unrecognized Windows monitor number"
        Case 2
            $Msg = "Graphics card not attached to desktop"
        Case 3
            $Msg = "Graphics card attached to desktop but not an NVIDIA device"
        Case 4
            $Msg = "Graphics card in Single-Display mode"
        Case 5
            $Msg = "Graphics card in DualView mode"
        Case 6
            $Msg = "Graphics card in Clone mode"
        Case 7
            $Msg = "Graphics card in Horizontal Span mode"
        Case 8
            $Msg = "Graphics card in Vertical Span mode"
    EndSwitch
EndIf

MsgBox(0,"",$Msg)

Hello,

the code perfects perfectly, just another question to the experts.

Is it also possible to get the information which port is in use. I have 3 Ports, two digital DVI and one Analog. The digital should always be the primary one wherealse the analog should be only used in clone mode (for a second small touch device)

So it would be fantastic to know exactly which port is in use and if possible to switch through the ports.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I just found a nvidia document describing most of nvidia api funktions. You can get it here:

http://developer.download.nvidia.com/SDK/9...olPanel_API.pdf

This helps me a lot to get the information on the attached displays.

I have one problem left using the clone mode. I want to set the digital connected display per default as pimary (if available).

I did not find a function in that document that can help me with that. Have you got any idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

unfortunately i often get the problem that after a resolution switch there's no picture. I have to plug out and the in the connector and it refreshes and works again. I wanted to automate that and found a function in the nvidia documentation:

NvCplRefreshConnectedDevices()

I try and try but always get an error when executing the file. This is my skript

DllCall("nvcpl.dll","BOOL","NvCplRefreshConnectedDevices","NVREFRESH_SYSTEMWID")

Can Someone help?

Thanks

Look at the definition of the function and read the entry about DLLCall in the helpfile:

Const $NVREFRESH_SYSTEMWIDE = 0x00000002
DllCall("nvcpl.dll","INT","NvCplRefreshConnectedDevices", "dword", $NVREFRESH_SYSTEMWIDE)

Hi again,

sorry for asking again, but I have a big problem with the NvGetDisplayInfo() function. I would like to know specific information of the monitor but it'r really difficult. The function prototype is discribed as

BOOL APIENTRY NvGetDisplayInfo

( IN LPCSTR pszUserDisplay,

OUT NVDISPLAYINFO* pDisplayInfo);

In a first step I want it for the primary display so I set:

$aResult = DllCall("nvcpl.dll","LPCSTR","NvGetDisplayInfo", "int",0, "Here is the Output")

But I do not know how to get to the Output function. It is described in a table but I did not get the idea behind. Can someone help?

Regards,

Alex
