| Here's an updated version of the function with a new function parameter (KeepRelativeSize) that lets the window maintain its original size. Set this parameter to false and the original window dimensions will be preserved after the fling. Note that I've messed with the order of the parameters as well... |

| Holy resurrected thread, Batman! Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. Glad you like the code. I'll take a look at the requests maybe this weekend and see if I can post an update. I think the no-resizing request from Desi is easy to do. The hard part would be to figure out what the "right&quo... |

Hey butterlow
Great to see someone using it. There hasn't been a lot of response on the thread to that particular enhancement (as in, zero), so I'm glad you're finding it useful.
Let me know how you end up using / configuring it.
Cheers,
Patrick |

| Hi Folks I'm back with yet another update. I'm introducing a new function, Win__Gridder() which is able to automatically grid (or tile) your windows into configurable arrangements. If you sometimes work with a lot of windows, like a bunch of Exporer windows where you're dragging files all around, or... |

| I currently use Notepad++ but this thread is making me want to start experimenting. One thing I've found very handy, independent of whatever editor you're using, is to use an alternate file extension for your main AHK code. For example, here is my main AutoHotkey.ahk file: #Include %A_ScriptDir%\Aut... |

| Ok, so I can't help myself from tinkering... here's a new version. Change 1 Version 3.0 introduces a new algorithm for determining the monitor to which a window belongs. Previously, the code used to look at the centre point of the window and see which monitor contained it. The obvious problem with t... |

| Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've been trying to configure an ideal multi-monitor setup at home (and to some degree at work, too) and I found that my original script screws up - It always moves the active window to the primary monitor as part of the re-sizing operation. To solve this, I took so... |

| you might look into SysGet and MonitorWorkArea, that might replace having to look for the taskbar, i'm not sure Thanks. I did do that originally but found that I got different answers with the two techniques, and that the one I used in my Win__GetDesktopPos() function gave more useful numbers. Anyh... |

| The function Win__Fling() listed below can be used to fling (i.e., move, shift) a window between monitors in a multi-monitor system. I found this post from rodfell from June 2009 which offered up a neat piece of code to "throw" (what I'm calling "fling") a window between monitors... |

| At home, I regularly use the new Windows 7 key combinations Win-Left and Win-Right. These keys reposition / resize the current window to occupy either the entire left half or entire right half of the screen. When you want to compare two documents, or when you want to copy files between two directori... |
