Change screen resolution from the command line or the toolbar.
This is a simple program that I put together for a couple of reasons:
I wanted to change the screen resolution from the command line
My daughter has several CDROM games which look better at the 640x480 (lowest common denominator) screen resolution. She has her own desktop which she signs onto under Windows 95 and from which she can run all her favorite games. However, our default desktop configuration runs at a screen resolution of 800x640 so we can see more stuff on the screen when word processing, web browsing, etc. We used the little power toy applet QuickRes to change the screen resolution for her. Since she is 3 yrs old, I figgured it would be much easier if the computer could make the resolution change automatically. QuickRes only changes the resolution interactively and I didn't find anything that anyone else had put together that did.
I wanted to learn a little more about MFC in the context of Visual C++ and some of the user interface portions of Windows 95.
Screen Resolution changing on the fly
Dialog boxes.
Right Mouse button menus
Taskbar status area icons
I knew it could be done and I wanted to know how.
Games do it
QuickRes does it
It couldn't be that hard (and it isn't)
