WinMove to position according detected monitor's resolution Topic is solved

[Avastgard]

I use my notebook on two different monitors, one at home (2560x1080) and one at work (1920x1080).

I modified @evilC's TapHoldManager script to make it so when I double tap F2, the last active windows explorer window gets placed in a certain position on the screen. Here is the code snippet:

Code: Select all

FuncF2(isHold, taps, state)
{
  if (taps)
  {
    if (taps == 1)
      Send {F2}
    else if (taps == 2)
       {
      WinMove, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe, ,1400, 225, , , ,
      ;~ WinMove, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe, ,970, 210, , , ,
      WinActivate, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe
    }
    return
  }
}

Since both monitors have different resolutions and I want the window to be placed roughly in the same position, I need to assign different coordinates on each monitor to achieve this. Line 9 is the position I use for my home monitor, whereas line 10 is the one I use for my work monitor.

Every time I switch from one monitor to the other, I have to comment out the other line so the positioning works fine.

I'm wondering if there is a way to make the code recognize what is the active monitor (or, better yet, the resolution of the active monitor, so it works on other monitors) and apply the corresponding WinMove coordinates accordingly. Is such a thing possible? Or is there a better way to achieve what I want?

Hello,

This may help.

Thanks as always, @mikeyww, I believe this code will work on both monitors (only tested on home monitor, though):

EDIT: tested on both ones and it works as intended.

Code: Select all

FuncF2(isHold, taps, state)
{
  if (taps)
  {
    if (taps == 1)
      Send {F2}
    else if (taps == 2)
    {
      If (A_ScreenWidth == 2560)
      WinMove, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe, ,1400, 225, , , ,
      else if (A_ScreenWidth == 1920)
      WinMove, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe, ,970, 210, , , ,
    WinActivate, ahk_class CabinetWClass ahk_exe explorer.exe
    }
    return
  }
}

Sure. Just a rearrangement of code here, nothing different in terms of effect.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
coord := {2560: [1400, 225]
        , 1920: [ 970, 210]}
If WinExist("ahk_class CabinetWClass") {
 WinMove coord[A_ScreenWidth][1], coord[A_ScreenWidth][2]
 WinActivate
}
