Is there a method in labviewto dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control?

[ROSEJ]

Is there a method in labview to dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control? I have another application that runs on another monitor. I would like to change the monitor resoultion to 640x480 on program startup, and then restore the monitor resolution back to the user's settings on exit. Can this be done?

Hi joshi,

as this is not a LabVIEW method, but a setting of the underlying OS, you have to call the corresponding OS routines to change monitor resolution. Please read the manuals for your OS...

Have you already done this manually?  I've seen Labview scale front panels very strangely when changing resolutions...

If you're using MS Windows, yes, you can do it with Windows API.

Not sure about other OS.
