How I change the resolution one monitor only - c++

Question

For example, my computer has two monitors, the primary monitor's resolution is 800*600, the other monitor's resolution is 1600*900.
I would like define the resolution on one monitor only ?
The function 'SetDisplayConfig' change the resolution screen on the two minotors...

Use ChangeDisplaySettingsEx function to change the settings of the specified display device to the specified graphics mode. The following is an example you can refer to.
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
for (DWORD devNum = 0; ; devNum++)
{
DISPLAY_DEVICE dev = {0};
dev.cb = sizeof(DISPLAY_DEVICE);
if (!EnumDisplayDevices(NULL, devNum, &dev, EDD_GET_DEVICE_INTERFACE_NAME))
break;
wprintf(L"Display name: %s \n", dev.DeviceName);
DEVMODE dMode = { 0 };
dMode.dmSize = sizeof(dMode);
if (!EnumDisplaySettings(dev.DeviceName, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &dMode))
{
wprintf(L"EnumDisplaySettings error: %d \n", GetLastError());
continue;
}
wprintf(L"Display old settings: \n");
wprintf(L"dmBitsPerPel: %d \n", dMode.dmBitsPerPel);
wprintf(L"dmPelsWidth: %d \n", dMode.dmPelsWidth);
wprintf(L"dmPelsHeight: %d \n", dMode.dmPelsHeight);
wprintf(L"dmDisplayFlags: %x \n", dMode.dmDisplayFlags);
wprintf(L"dmDisplayFrequency: %d \n", dMode.dmDisplayFrequency);
dMode.dmPelsWidth = 800;
dMode.dmPelsHeight = 600;
ChangeDisplaySettingsEx(dev.DeviceName, &dMode, NULL, 0, NULL);
DEVMODE dModeNew = { 0 };
dModeNew.dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
if (!EnumDisplaySettings(dev.DeviceName, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &dModeNew))
{
wprintf(L"EnumDisplaySettings error: %d \n", GetLastError());
continue;
}
wprintf(L"Display new settings: \n");
wprintf(L"dmBitsPerPel: %d \n", dModeNew.dmBitsPerPel);
wprintf(L"dmPelsWidth: %d \n", dModeNew.dmPelsWidth);
wprintf(L"dmPelsHeight: %d \n", dModeNew.dmPelsHeight);
wprintf(L"dmDisplayFlags: %x \n", dModeNew.dmDisplayFlags);
wprintf(L"dmDisplayFrequency: %d \n", dModeNew.dmDisplayFrequency);
}
getchar();
}
I set dwflags to 0 let the graphics mode for the current screen change dynamically. Refer to dwflags parameter part of ChangeDisplaySettingsEx's document for deciding how you would like the graphics mode should be changed.

Sorry for my late response...I was absent.
I also need to change the scaling of monitor (Black bars removed on certain resolutions).
[Flags]
public enum DisplayConfigScaling : uint
{
Zero = 0x0,
Identity = 1,
Centered = 2,
Stretched = 3,
Aspectratiocenteredmax = 4,
Custom = 5,
Preferred = 128,
ForceUint32 = 0xFFFFFFFF
}
The function 'ChangeDisplaySettingsEx' may change the scale of monitor ?
Thank you very for your help.
