Well mostly. I had to add a few more pauses of 2000 in between launches to give it time to load. Once I did that plus your method everything worked perfectly. Thank you! ]]> RE: Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#11 Tue, 31 Aug 2021 16:08:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#11 DisplayFusion @Greg: It's maybe that the app isn't returning an appID. Can you try changing this:
windowHandle = BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByAppID(appID);


to this:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.General.ThreadWait(5000);
windowHandle = BFS.Window.GetFocusedWindow();

The script is working quite well, but the two instances do not move to the location they should. both open directly in the center of the screen.

I've included the script I'm using below. Any guidance? ]]> RE: Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#9 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 02:12:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#9 DisplayFusion Could you export the script from your DF settings and attach it so that I can have a quick look at it? ]]> RE: Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#8 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 17:49:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#8 DisplayFusion :|Sorry to dig up this post.

It wouldn't be possible to distinguish these windows via Triggers, but you could create a Scripted Function to launch each instance and move it to a specific size and location. I've attached a sample for 2 instances. To add more instances to the script, just copy the second one and modify the x, y, width, and height values in the BFS.Window.SetLocation line.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#3 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 19:45:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#3 DisplayFusion Yes, see the screenshots, sorry it's in french because i'm ---------------> french ;) ]]> RE: Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#2 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 19:19:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c#2 DisplayFusion Does each one of those windows run in its own process? ]]> Trigger with multiple instance of an software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c Tue, 31 Jan 2017 18:23:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/trigger-with-multiple-instance-of-an-software/?ID=4bff33b7-c99d-4586-b2d4-c6b7a910db5c DisplayFusion Hi,
I try to create a trigger to automatically switch 6 instance of the same software on my second screen and place them in a defined order. As shown in the attached screenshot.
I managed to place the first window but how to identify the others?

This would help me for my project ! ]]>
