GetTimingReport 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.

Retrieves a monitor's horizontal and vertical synchronization frequencies.

Syntax

_BOOL GetTimingReport(
  [in]  HANDLE             hMonitor,
  [out] LPMC_TIMING_REPORT pmtrMonitorTimingReport
);

Parameters

[in] hMonitor

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

[out] pmtrMonitorTimingReport

Pointer to an MC_TIMING_REPORT structure that receives the timing information.

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 "Get Timing Report & Timing Message" command from the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) standard. For more information about the timing information, refer to the DDC/CI standard.

This function takes about 50 milliseconds to return.
