Finds available fullscreen video modes
Syntax
Usage
result = ScreenList( [ depth ] )
Parameters
depth
the color depth for which the list of modes is requested (supported depths are 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32)
Return Value
returns 0, when there are no more resolutions to read.
Description
It works like the
Dir function: the first call to the function requires the
depth parameter to be specified, it returns the lowest supported resolution for the requested depth. Further calls to
ScreenList without arguments returns the next resolutions. When no more resolutions are available,
ScreenList returns
0.
The result of
ScreenList is encoded as a 32 bit value, with the screen width as the
High Word and the height as the
Low Word.
Resolutions are returned from lowest to highest supported ones.
It is safe to call this function before any graphics mode has been set.
Dim As Integer mode, w, h
Print "Resolutions supported at 8 bits per pixel:"
mode = ScreenList(8)
While (mode <> 0)
w = HiWord(mode)
h = LoWord(mode)
Print w & "x" & h
mode = ScreenList()
