Monitor Configuration

Overview of the Monitor Configuration technology.

To develop Monitor Configuration, you need these headers:

For programming guidance for this technology, see:

Enumerations

 
MC_COLOR_TEMPERATURE

Describes a monitor's color temperature.
MC_DISPLAY_TECHNOLOGY_TYPE

Identifies monitor display technologies.
MC_DRIVE_TYPE

Specifies whether to set or get a monitor's red, green, or blue drive.
MC_GAIN_TYPE

Specifies whether to get or set a monitor's red, green, or blue gain.
MC_POSITION_TYPE

Specifies whether to get or set the vertical or horizontal position of a monitor's display area.
MC_SIZE_TYPE

Specifies whether to get or set the width or height of a monitor's display area.
MC_VCP_CODE_TYPE

Describes a Virtual Control Panel (VCP) code type.
