What is the V2 analog of this V1 script line?

VarSetCapacity(monitorInfo, 40), NumPut(40, monitorInfo)

Such a manual hint as: Use a buffer object for binary data/structures now! requires an old > new example

Code: Select all

monitorInfo := Buffer(40)
NumPut("UPtr", 40, monitorInfo)

Though technically speaking, the original code should have specified "Int" or "UInt" type instead of letting it default to "UPtr". The MONITORINFO struct's first field is DWORD type, which is equivalent to AHK's "UInt" type.

Code: Select all

monitorInfo := Buffer(40)
NumPut("UInt", 40, monitorInfo)

Also, you can (should?) use the buffer size to populate that field.

Code: Select all

monitorInfo := Buffer(40)
NumPut("UInt", monitorInfo.Size, monitorInfo)

Thank you very much, both versions work!
