How to fetch the NATIVE resolution of attached monitor from EDID file through VB6.0?

Question

I am developing a VB application in which i need to know the native resolution of the monitor and not the one set by the user(current resolution). So i need to read the EDID

Answer 1

For some source code (although C/C++) to read the EDID block see Point 5 at this link. The only official means to retrieve this information through Windows Setup API.

For an EDID format description see for example here.
