Here is my resolution changer named SwapResolution. It swaps the display resolution between 800x480 and 1024x600.
It binds to the correct hardware button (Synaptic Scroll Down Button).
This is the version 1.0.0.2 updated on 2008-11-09.
Changelog:
1.0.0.0 - Compiled AutoIt script, occasional crash.
1.0.0.1 - Rewritten in C++, quicker and more reliable. Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package needed. This version works only with Windows XP.
1.0.0.2 - Written in C++, quick and reliable. Self suficient. Runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Thank you

I found that NuClear235 had already posted an answer at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378650
But it did not work exactly as NuClear235 described. My Synaptics control panel did not have any BUTTONS option. I installed the generic driver from synaptics.com and the BUTTONS option appeared. ControlCenterLauncher.exe should be bound to SCROLL LEFT as described, but ResolutionSwitchLauncher should be bound to SCROLL DOWN, not SCROLL UP as he stated. It works fine now!!
btw: Which Synaptics Control panel you use, that have not the BUTTONS option?
the originaly from HTC Vista download?
Original HTC Synaptics drivers (to download from HTC´s Homepage) Version 10.0.11.1
or the newer:
from Synaptics Homepage Driver Version v10.1.8
http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm
drivers direct link:
http://drivers.synaptics.com/Synaptics_Driver_v10_1_8_XP32.exe
I use the latest Synaptics drivers directly from Synaptics and it works without problems.
ok, thank you And it is not depending what you install first or last?
First: Install Synaptics from synaptics Homepage
second: the Display changer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=124129&d=1224717743

Great work I think the XP related threads are to overloaded at the moment
i cannot see the woods behind the many woods
I don´t have within my WXP TPC the folders c:\program files\HTC, where must located the files ControlCenterLauncher.exe nad ResolutionSwitchLauncher .exe.
If I understand that right, this is only a Part of vista?
Your switcher works, but by me, the switcher don´t interpolate the solution, he change the resolution and then i can scroll left and right on the screen to see all. That´s right, or I´m wrong?
The switcher was working for me, interpolating the resolution, just like under Vista. Now it is not. I have to found the reason. Patience!
uiui cool Thank you
Can this work on Vista too? HTC's solution is an always running background application with additional .net memory footprint, because it is not a native application.

yes this runs without any problems under vista too
New version 1.0.0.1
See first post.
Thank you. Maybe it works not with Windows Xp language localized Versions and loc. versions of synaptics.
Can you explain us, which drivers at least must be installed for switching the display under Windows XP?
I have installed only actually OS drivers and all drivers that are missed in devicemanager and the actually Intel graphic drivers, actually Synaptics driver, and your patch.
Maybe we must install some other tools from HTC too? (or copy some files from Vista Side to XP folders?
Or is nothing needed more than Display Drivers, Mouse drivers and your patch?

I tried version 1.0.0.1 under Vista:
Copied the the right folder, run the reg file and restart. But it doesn't work.
What do I have to do to undo the changes made by the reg file?
New version resolution changer works perfect,thanks

It should be enough to delete this value in the registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\PlugInConfig\TouchPadPS2]
"ExButton2RunApp"="\"C:\\Program Files\\SwapResolution\\SwapResolution.exe\""
or to replace it with the following one:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\PlugInConfig\TouchPadPS2]
"ExButton2RunApp"="HKLM|SOFTWARE\\HTC\\ControlCenter|InstallPath|ResolutionSwitchLauncher.exe"

Yes, but only on Windows XP as yet. And it needs Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86). I will see what I can do.
Version 1.0.0.2 posted. See the first post of this thread.
I have only 800x480 in "list all modes"

devictoria,
Thanks for developing this application. Somehow it doesn't work for me :-(. I have 1.0.0.2 installed.
One suspicious thing: I even don't have the option to see 1024x600 when I click "List all modes" for the display adapter. Did I miss something ?
Edit: never mind, reinstalling the VGA driver did the trick ;-)).
I am glad to see it working
devictoria.
Thank you for the great works. I have tried but unfortunately failed.
When I execute the SwapResolution.exe or press the correctly mapped botton, the screen just blinks and then go back to 800x480. I checked the VGA drivers and found two versions:
1) Digital Flat Panel (1024x768) on Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset (This is by default and the setting is 800x480 w/ 32 bit color. But when I change to 1024x600 w/ 32 bit color, the color does not show correctly).
2) (Default Monitor) on Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family (If I choose this one, it can only go 640x480 w/ Low 8 bit color).
Please help.

same problem here
The same problem as in previous post. The screen only blinks and do not change 800x480 resolution. In addition to above I tried "[email protected] Monitor", nothing changed...
XP TabletPC detects itself monitor as !THREE! "Digital Flat Panel (1024X768)"s and adds its to system... than I change manually in Display Propeties resolution to 800x480.
What`s wrong?

Anybody give this a try yet. I'd like to know if anyone finds it useful before I start developing new features.
Cheers,
Ken
I can test it for you!
Hello,
I found your little app quite interesting, seems simple and intuitive.
I will test it, and give it a try for my next poker tournament. =)
I'll come back to you to give you my appreciation / comments.
Thanks for your good work!

Hope for an update

I'd love to try it out, but as with the user above, my diamond runs at vga.
Would really love to see a vga version, as this is one of the apps ive really wanted for my phone.
Thanks for your contribution!
I have just install windows 7, evrything is OK, but i couldn't put the resolution
to 1024x600. So tell me how experts...
i tried to disable aero to get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution working. Right click on dektop -> personalize -> and choose the first "easy of access" Theme, but it didn't work for me.
Have you installed your Display Drivers for the Shift?
Also, what resolutions CAN you see?
Thanks,
Ryan
Use a WIndows 7 Basic Theme
The one you use still uses AERO I think.
Also, update your video driver first.
Then select Windows 7 Basic theme. It will disable AERO but still look good.
How can I make VS2008 let me deploy to my HTC TOUCH HD
i can only deploy to thje standard devices so my app does not look like it should (i.e. windows mobile 6 stanard, professional, vga, square vga etc)
any help would be gratefully received
you can download the sonyE x1 sdk it got a emulator which is wvga
of cause you can also just alter one of the other ones
you can change the res to custom in their settings
Download the Windows Mobile 6.1.4 emulator images, they have a greater range of screen sizes to try out.

hello,
I don't have VS here but :
- connect your device using active sync
- start your VS smartdevice project
- in the top bar, there is a list where you select the emulator, choose your device (WM6 Pro Device should be fine)
- click on the small icon "Connect to device" next to this list
- tadam! you can then debug your programs running on the device!
I made this for my Diamond and my Touch Pro and it's really perfect (for testing sensor components )
Hope this helps!
PS: download.microsoft.com and get the latest WM 6.5 SDK!
Hi, using a compaq 2710p laptop which has a pen input display so I obviously thought it would be good for win8 However when I was running the DP i couldn't change my screen res. The screen itself is 16:10, but I think running windows 7 I use 16:9 to keep things simple. Now for some reason the CP (and the DP) doesn't let me change the resolution whatsoever. It' currently stuck at 1280x800 (4:3) So I can, luckily use the store but can't snap apps. I have no options to change the res at all? The option is just greyed out.
What graphics card do you have? I couldn't change resolution until I installed GeForce drivers from NVidia, if you have ati or Intel you just need the latest windows 7 driver.

ATI i think but I'll double check later on. In screen resolution I clicked display drivers, then update drivers. It went from microsoft basic drivers to some long name but it changed back because it was a "bad driver"?
Ah that's probably it then, you need to find out what the graphics card is then go to ati/amd website and get the latest relevant drivers
hi there everyone. i am on dell inpiron 1545 with intel gm4500 hd inbuilt graphics card. everything works fine with it accept intel gma control pannel. it is missing from right click option as well as taskbar. i can access it from control panel but it is not as good as it was on window7. there is option for changing resolution only. there is no such option like maintaining aspect ratio image scaling etc.
please some one look at it and help me.
Install the latest version of your manufacturer's GMA drivers, Microsoft generally does NOT come with Intel drivers and use their own (Hence the missing GMA Control Panel). It should also be noted that installing the older Intel drivers also gives Windows 8 OpenGL support (which it lacks out of the box.)
