Forcing a video mode
Is it possible to force a video mode ( eg 640x480 x 16 color) from a Delphi program, rather than having to deal with various resolutions?
If so, how is it done.
I'm just beginning in Delphi!
Thank you

Yep, I agree with Mike, your customers will definitely not like it, when you change the video mode - except you're running in fullscreen, like a game... But then you should use DirectX, there are functions available to switch to a different mode in DirectX full screen mode. And DirectX automatically restores the old resolution when the fullscreen mode is ended.
