Screen resolution routine

Seems 2-3 yrs ago i had a routine that did this:
Combobox on form with different resolutions eg:
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 800
1280 x 1024
1152 x 864
1680x1050
When making a selection the form would resize to the selection as if it was actually running at that resolution. Does anyone know how to do this?
Eg: Form is shown at 1280x1024 selecting 1680x1050 the form would shrink as if the resolution was changed without actually changing the resolution

I just want to see how big my form would look in a lot of different resolutions, not adjust any controls on the form..
Example:
my form is w-12540 x h-10500 at 1280 x1024 resolutation and i want to see how big it would be 1440x900
etc

Hi,

Please award the poitns, because I did actually did answer his original question, although he did not phrase it correctly. Adding to that -- if he did wish to actually change the 'screen' resolution, it would be simply a matter of using API calls to change it, and/or using the control panel applet to 'switch' resolutions. Doing a quick search, he could probably find details here: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic34776.htm
