Gargoyle Gargoyle MM club member Registered: 2004-03-09 Posts: 1597 Loc: Valley of the Sun (Arizona, US...	Is there a way within Kix to check what a users screen resolution is. If it is not what I want it to be can Kix change the setting, and if it can is there a way it can verify that the requested resolution is supported by the end system? _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Of course I would be nice enough to warn them that I was going to do so. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	That said, we have several web based apps that require a minimum 1024X768 display and users that like to knock their's down to 800 or even 640! We embed a bit of JScript in the page to let the user know that their resoultion does not fit the minimum. If they choose not to comply, they cannot use the app, plain and simple. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

That is an option that I thought of, but was thinking that if I offered to change it for them.... but maybe I am being way to nice. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

KiXforms will give you the current screen res. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Yea, I have done that before with Kixforms, works really nice, but was unsure about changing and validating a new setting. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Changing the res could get tricky unless it is in a tightly controlled environment where you can be sure that the setting will work. I don't know how many times I had to haul a computer back to my lab because the monitor in the field would not support the res I set it to. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Nothing about setting it, or validating the support on the graphic card. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Quote: now, as I read this, it asks for a way to check the resolution I assumed that the UDF that you were pointing out was to answer all parts of the question, not just the one, which it does do. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
