Those properties are on the Appearance tab of Display Properties in the
Control Panel. They are accessible via the Windows api, but the best website
has been sold. I suggest you try to find another website, or get Dan
Appleman's book on the Windows API:

I can't find my copy of the book, but I couldn't post code from it anyway.
It is copyrighted. You might find something at his website:

He might be talking about www.allapi.net

According to http://www.mentalis.org/allapi.qpx, "The domain name of this
site has been sold in February 2007, and since then doesn't point to the
original contents anymore". However, the material's still available at
http://allapi.mentalis.org/

The only code I have is for the screen resolution:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "User32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As
Long

Public Sub GetScreenRez()

Const X_FULL_SCREEN = 16
Const Y_FULL_SCREEN = 17

Dim lngX As Long
Dim lngY As Long

lngX = GetSystemMetrics(X_FULL_SCREEN)
lngY = GetSystemMetrics(Y_FULL_SCREEN)

Debug.Print "Screen Resolution = " & lngX & " x " & lngY

End Sub
