Change screen orientation programmatically??

HARRY · #1 (**permalink**) 05-14-2007, 12:31 PM

Hi,

I want to set at the start of my program the screen orientation to landscape and to portrait when closing the form.

Does somebody know about code to realize that?

There were small applications in the old forum that did this.
I hope that one of the users who downloaded it will upload it again

Thanks PatrikL

You need to use the Shell keyword with one of the programs to rotate the screen.

Hi,
I upload again the orientation programs, you have to use them with the
shell function:
If isppc = True Then Shell("Lndsc270.exe", "")

On the title you recognise where the pda-buttons are : BtnsR270.exe
means the buttons are on the right in this landscape mode.

You wil have automaticly scrollbars if the window do not fitt.
Did not think it was a handy thing to some people, enjoy it....

Thanks a lot, Put

Thanks to you, I have successfully incorporated the orientation switchers in combination with dzt's HTML Viewer and formlib.dll (full screen) for the purpose of replaying Flash (.swf) files on maximum possible screen area.

Cheers
