Software monitor input switching

[stupomer]

Hi All,
I have a new Dell which I have hooked up as an additional monitor which I have to switch between the VGA and DVI inputs quite often. Unfortunately there are four inputs to toggle through on the hardware button (what a pain). I was wondering if anyone knew of a software monitor input switching solution, within QM capabilities or otherwise.

I had read that a piece of software called mControl from http://www.entechtaiwan.com could do it but it didn't seem to be able to when I tested.

I also came across this which suggested that if you turn off the power to a monitor via software command, it will switch inputs:

but it didn't work


I know you can turn off a monitor momentarily with these type commands in QM:

Code:

Copy      Help

SendMessage _hwndqm  WM_SYSCOMMAND 0xF170 2
;
;
SendMessage -1  WM_SYSCOMMAND 0xF170 2

;def SC_MONITORPOWER 0xF170
SendMessage HWND_BROADCAST WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MONITORPOWER 1
5
SendMessage HWND_BROADCAST WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MONITORPOWER -1

But I don't know how to make it happen in just one of the monitors and not others and also it didn't result in input switching anyway.
Any thoughts?
