How to get display frequency

[kingzooly]

OK I am now I am having a problem if I use the FakeKiosk it for some reason cuts off the size of the start/toolbar off at the bottem, I was also going to have a image move and strech out in kiost mode but it is not letting me set negative valuses

WinPos.X will get my window then I need to make this a negative value to the image so it will move but it for some reason just goes to 0 I not sure if its me or what but -WinPos.X, (-WinPos.X) (0 - WinPos.X) none work so I am lost there also as I could of just made the image fit around my app but seems it does not want to play ball :(

After letting some none AMS users play with it I think I am just going to set the size fixed to the 1024 and Kiosk it, this I know the stage will always be what I designed it to be :yes

Right now I don't want to include any plugin as the way I create my code and updates can some times be funny with plugins, I will keep these ideas in mind tho as who knowns down the line I might need to revisit this.

Thanks guy.

i usualy use winapi free plugin

GetCurrDisplaySettings

gives you :-
display width
display height
bits per pixel
mode frequency (refresh rate)

        oItem = oEnum:Next();
    end
else
    Dialog.Message("WMI Output", "No WMI Objects Found for class: CIM_VideoControllerResolution");
end

Try also the Win32_DisplayConfiguration item:

        if (v == true) then return "Yes"; else return "No"; end
    end
    return v;
end

local sOutput      = "";
local sOutputTitle = "Computer: localhost\r\n==========================================\r\n\r\n";
local oWMIService  = luacom.GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\localhost\\root\\CIMV2");
local oColItems    = oWMIService:ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_DisplayConfiguration", "WQL", 48);
if oColItems then
    local oEnum   = luacom.GetEnumerator(oColItems);
    local oItem = oEnum:Next();
    while oItem do
        sOutput = sOutput .. "DisplayFrequency: " .. Escape(oItem:DisplayFrequency()) .. "\r\n";
        if (Dialog.Message("WMI Output",  sOutputTitle .. sOutput, 1) == 2) then break; end
        sOutput = "";
        oItem = oEnum:Next();
    end
else
    Dialog.Message("WMI Output", "No WMI Objects Found for class: Win32_DisplayConfiguration");
end

I first excuse me for the simple suggestion and then say
only if you haven't find a professional solution

I understand you don't want a plugin but it is much more

Well, I think that using SIW (System Information for Windows) you can solve the problem.
It is a fully portable application (single exe but discontinued or PAF Format but packed).
Launch it silently with the command line parameter /log and then get the value you need from AMS.

Here you can find a quick review

Hope it helps you.

That exe, god been years since I seen that does not support NT 6.3

Also after reading there website I cant fine any freeware version at all, they offer a trial versions but not a freeware version for SIW 2013

I have looked everywhere at peoples requests about the display but can't find one way to get the frequency I don't want to use a plugin to just get the frequency so is there any simple way or am I out of luck?
