How To *get* The Current Video Resolution

[Maelstorm]

Is there a way to find out what the current video resolution is in Windows? I'm running a script that needs to know that the current resolution is. In the workstation, I found a regkey that changes values when the resolution changes, but this is missing on another machine. So, it seems that the value is machine specific and quite possibly installation specific.

So, how do we do it?

This is a simple vbs script which echoes the height and width

On Error Resume Next

Const wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10
Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20

strComputer = "localhost"

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_DesktopMonitor", "WQL", _
wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)

For Each objItem In colItems
	WScript.Echo "ScreenHeight: " & objItem.ScreenHeight
	WScript.Echo "ScreenWidth: " & objItem.ScreenWidth
Next

That was one of the first sites I found when searching. The script doesn't work on XP even though there are 3 different versions of it.

Thanks for responding though.

That was exactly what I was looking for.

Thank Scriptomatic 2.0 =]

Very useful program, select the class you need and it'll show a script that echoes all of the information of that class. Easy =]

Yep, I like whole "matic" family... Adsimatic, scriptomatic and tweakomatic...

I think U could use wmic also, like wmic desktop get screenwidth, screenheight
