Validate and change resolution in a monitor (Example of how to do that)

expertcr — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 17:00:08 GMT

In the past, someone asked me how to change the resolution in a process before validating if the current user has an incorrect resolution; this is very useful if you have a process that uses Region Mode, which requires a specific resolution to work as intended when the process was created.

We will work fine if you start using the "Utility—Environment" from the DX or if you already have it installed in Blue Prism.

General Overview of the process

For more information on the usage of SetResolution, check the information in GitHub.

The batch file is already included in the image; just open Notepad and copy the Syntax.

This is the link to download the SetResolution application from GitHUB https://github.com/RickStrahl/SetResolution

It is just the executable file, and you saved any location where you would like this to run. On my example was in C:\TEMP

Hi,

it does not work for me. It lists the profiles but when I call the program with parameters the resolution stays as before. I am attaching the screen shot I am taking after calling this exe.

I have an issue when using an invalid resolution, so the command returns the possible resolutions that you can use. I changed it to follow that, and it works fine.

If that doesn't work for you, show me a screenshot of the response from the program after running the command, just like in my example:
