oh yeh sorry

for anyone who is searching in the future, here is my code for switching between 2 popular resolutions: DEVMODE dm;
EnumDisplaySettings(NULL, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &dm);
dm.dmPelsWidth = dm.dmPelsWidth == 1280 ? 1024 : 1280;
dm.dmPelsHeight = dm.dmPelsHeight == 1024 ? 768 : 1024;
dm.dmFields = DM_PELSWIDTH | DM_PELSHEIGHT | DM_DISPLAYFREQUENCY | DM_BITSPERPEL;
ChangeDisplaySettings(&dm, 0);

or you can do it like this:

int nWidth =::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
int nHeight =::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
