I just added this prompt box to optionally perform the double-click to maximize a single camera or just show the default group.

// Max Vinyl Bay window
if (BFS.Dialog.GetUserConfirm("Start with Brent/DJ's desk?"))
{
// BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(2100, 230); // vinyl bay
BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(2100, 82; // Brent Desk
BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();
BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();
}

Is there a dialog box that offers more than two options? I looked at .Dialog.GetUserInputList, but it's a dropdown. Buttons are preferable, if available. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#7 Wed, 06 Dec 2023 19:19:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#7 DisplayFusion Nope, it looks pretty good to me! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#6 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 23:17:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#6 DisplayFusion ThreadWait just sounds cooler, though. I added a "double-click" to maximize one of my cameras. Any suggestions on improving the code? 🖖 ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#5 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 22:06:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#5 DisplayFusion Glad to see you got the mouse positioning and clicking working. I believe Sleep and ThreadWait do the same thing but it should be documented, I've added that to our to-do list. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#4 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 19:18:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#4 DisplayFusion UPDATE! I used the virtual screen coordinates of monitor #2 to position the mouse cursor and left-click. Getting the coordinates was done by using SnagIt to capture both desktops and then pasting into Gimp.

Works great!! I put the positioning code at bottom after both apps were loaded so I wouldn't need to put .Sleep() in.

Any suggestions? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#3 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 23:39:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#3 DisplayFusion Thanks for the lead!

A - I made modifications to my script based on your tip, 👍. The script now works how I need it to. I find the delay parameter is a trial-&-error experience since the value needed depends on the current processor load. 500 works sometimes, but 2500 is needed as the same parm under different loads.
I moved the variable pointer declaration to the top so I could reuse it for each window launched.

B - What is the main difference between .Sleep() & .ThreadWait()? They seem to have the same effect. I looked in the Help to read up on the differences, but .Sleep() must be a new function.

C - My next challenge is to position the cursor on monitor #2 over the dashed circled camera group. An extra added bonus would be to simulate a left mouse click, if possible. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#2 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:23:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01#2 DisplayFusion This script provides a good example of how to launch an app and move it with BFS.Window.SetLocation: https://www.displayfusion.com/ScriptedFunctions/View/?ID=df0648f5-a75b-44fb-9e42-670eb315743a

You can replace BFS.Window.SetLocation with BFS.Window.MoveToMonitor if you want to move it to a monitor ID instead of a specific X/Y location.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 18:37:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/run-app-on-a-specific-monitor-2/?ID=018c361f-52f3-77e2-9417-f735b116cb01 DisplayFusion I have created a custom function & a custom script that I would like to use together, where the script calls the function, unless there is a better option.

* "Move to 2" simply uses DF built-in functionality to move the app to monitor #2.
* The goal of my script is to:
- launch the main Windows apps I use for updates.
- provide a delay for the apps to load.
- move certain apps to montor #2 while leaving my Windows Update on monitor #1.

I am using "BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction()" along with my "Move to 2" function. It works, but is there a more elegant way to run the app on monitor #2 in code?

I realize triggers can be set to move certain apps as I have done this; however, I have these apps triggered to run on monitor #1 currently. I only want them to run on monitor #2 within this script. ]]>
