I'm having to do a lot of web development right now and I have to
continually change my screen from its current settings to 600X800 / 256
colors and back

I'm wanting to create a systray icon that you can click on and a menu
willl pop up and allow you to choose new settings.

I know how to make the icon show up on the systray, and how to make the
menu appear...but how do you reset the screen info?  I'm sure its going
to have to be some function from GDI32.dll, but does anyone knoe which
one?

See the "ChangeDisplaySettingsA" API in user32.

If you are using Win9x, you can download QuickRes.exe from MSFT. It does
exactly this.  If you want to roll your own, then look at this code.

David,

I've taken a different approach to this situation (on Win98).  I
set up my machine with dual monitors - main monitor is 19" at
1600x1200 for maximal screen real estate, second monitor is 17"
set to client's resolution (usually 1024x768 or 800x600).  Then,
when I need to check how things will display at the lower
resolution, I just drag the window over to the other monitor and
fine tune it there.  Quick and easy, and it saves having to look
for desktop icons or other windows that have disappeared off the
edge of the screen.

Just a thought,
Marsh
