Reading Monitor FrameRate

SoulReaper · Post by **SoulReaper** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 2:29 am

Hello I have a small problem is it possible to read the exact system settings to find out what the monitor hertz setting is...

I would like to do something like this e.g.

variable=MonitorRefreshRate

I am surprised that there is not a command for this, if anyone can help i would be very very very happy as I have been banging my head on the wall here

ouch

ouch!!! :roll:

Code: Select all

ExamineDesktops()
  Frequency = DesktopFrequency(0)
  If Frequency = 0
    MessageRequester("Display Information", "There isn't any user set desktop frequency, the standard hardware frequency is used.")
  Else
    MessageRequester("Display Information", "Desktop's frequency: "+Str(Frequency)+" Hz.")
  EndIf

And here I am, as always sticked to any game development topic.
Lets see, will this do the trick for you?

Code: Select all

  ExamineDesktops() 
  f = DesktopFrequency(0) 
  If f = 0 
    MessageRequester("Display Information", "There isn't set any desktop frequency, the standard hardware frequency is used.") 
  Else 
    MessageRequester("Display Information", "Frequency of desktop: "+Str(f)+" Hz.") 
  EndIf

The above, I took it from the PB manual.. so dont blame PB for not having this commands!!! because they exist

You just got to use the search function either at the search or here -forums-

Should work, although I can think of a better way for doing this, maybe ill check about this later.

Read about: ExamineDesktops()

will help you as well.
