SaveCurrentSettings function (lowlevelmonitorconfigurationapi.h)

  • Article

Warning

The physical monitor configuration functions work using the VESA Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS) standard over an I2C interface. Many monitors don't fully implement that standard; so your use of these commands might result in undefined monitor behavior. We don't recommend using these functions for arbitrary monitors without physically validating that they work as intended.

Saves the current monitor settings to the display's nonvolatile storage.

Syntax

_BOOL SaveCurrentSettings(
  [in] HANDLE hMonitor
);

Parameters

[in] hMonitor

Handle to a physical monitor. To get the monitor handle, call GetPhysicalMonitorsFromHMONITOR or GetPhysicalMonitorsFromIDirect3DDevice9.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function corresponds to the "Save Current Settings" function from the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) standard.

This function takes about 200 milliseconds to return.

This low-level function is identical to the high-level function SaveCurrentMonitorSettings.
