read monitor frequency

[MVestjens]

Hi,

I'm running LabView 7.1 on Windows XP.

I need to build an applicition which depends on the refresh rate and preferably also resolution/color depth of the monitor.

Is there any way to read these Windows display settings into LabView?

Many thanks,
Michiel Vestjens.

Hello

I guess this is what you are looking for.
I don´t remenber where I got it, probable from some utilities package for labview.

Hope it helps

Hi again
This llb comes from LVWUTIL32.zip.
You can find it in this web. It has calls to APIs and documentation about that.
Hope this helps.

I've downloaded the LVWUTIL32.zip file, and copied all lib's to user.lib, and lvwutil32.dll to the resource directory.

however, I get an error: using WIN_GetDisplayMode.vi
-> Call Library Function Node: function not found in Library.
The only function called in this vi is LVCurrentDisplaySettings. Do you know where I can find that one too?

Thanks again,
Michiel.

Sorry about that
I thik there are different versions.

See attached zip containing DLL.
Should you want to have the full Lvwutil32, please let me know and I will post it here.

Yes, this works great! Thanks.

But indeed, if you have it available, I would like to have the full version. (Might be interesting for future projects)
