How can I script nvidia display setting changes?
I have my tv connected to my Windows XP pc's nvidia GeForce 8500 GT.
I am constantly switching between single display and clone display.
Is there a way to script these settings? I would be fine with writing a batch file or a .net program to do it.
When I want to use my tv I right click the nVidia tray icon -> nView Display Settings -> Clone -> TV + Acer Monitor
When I want to switch back to only my moniter, I right click the nVidia tray icon -> nView Display Settings -> Single Display -> Acer Monitor
Solution 1:
Combined with AutoIT, AutoHotkey or a batch script, this PDF-document (Command Line Functions => Using DTCFG-Configuring the Desktop => DTCFG Desktop Configuration Commands) may be of great assistance.
From that I tried to create a simple AutoHotkey-script, but I am not sure if it works, nor if it does what you want.
single = 1
;----- Ctrl-F2, change to whatever you see fit
^F2::
;----- cloning to screen 2
if (single = 1) {
run rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll`,dtcfg setview 1 clone,,Hide
single = 0
} else {
;----- back to primary only
run rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll`,dtcfg setview 1 standard,,Hide
currentMode = 2
}
return
