For the next beta, we're adding a ShowMessageInfoMonospaced function that should hopefully do the trick :) ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#8 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 18:36:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#8 DisplayFusion mainly the padding I rewrote some of my code to include a formatted string. so you can see the problem more clearly.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
IntPtr[] handles = BFS.Window.GetVisibleWindowHandles();

int len = handles.Length;
SortedDictionary<int, string> positions = new SortedDictionary<int, string>();

string formatted = "";

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
positions.Add((int)handles[i], BFS.Window.GetBounds(handles[i]).ToString());
}

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> key in positions)
{
formatted += string.Format("ID: {0,-15} Location: {1,50} {2} \r\n", key.Key, key.Value,
BFS.Window.GetText((IntPtr)key.Key)); 
}

BFS.Dialog.ShowMessageInfo(formatted);
}
}


When you run the output my goal is to have each section line-up in the output.

FYI I just started to learn C# about a week ago coming from a c++ background so its very possible this is my problem. ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#7 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 14:18:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#7 DisplayFusion What issues were you running into with format.string? ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#6 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 04:47:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#6 DisplayFusion Appreciate the hard work! ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#5 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 03:20:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#5 DisplayFusion Well I have been gathering opened window information with this:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
IntPtr[] handles = BFS.Window.GetVisibleWindowHandles();

int len = handles.Length;
SortedDictionary<int, string> positions = new SortedDictionary<int, string>();
string output = "";

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
positions.Add((int)handles[i], BFS.Window.GetBounds(handles[i].ToString());
}

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> key in positions)
{
output += "ID: " + key.Key + " Location: " + key.Value + " "
+ BFS.Window.GetText((IntPtr)key.Key) + "\r\n";
}

BFS.Dialog.ShowMessageInfo(output);
}
}

Which is great.
(side note here. the format.string function does not work very well with BFS.Dialog.ShowMessageInfo.)

And this is what I'm using to move the windows to its desired location. I haven't had time to try anything for child windows yet.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
if (BFS.Application.IsAppRunningByFile(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"))
{
IntPtr steam = BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByAppID(BFS.Application.GetAppIDByFile(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"));
BFS.Window.SetSizeAndLocation(steam,1,1,1000,663);
}
}
}

@Solaris: Could you attach your existing script, and let me know what issues you're having with it? We'll check it out and see if there's a way to improve it. ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#3 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:29:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#3 DisplayFusion I've been trying to do the same thing for a couple of days as well through scripted functions.

It's safe to say I'm still learning, but so far I can't seem to get it working with child windows. Specifically the steam friends list and chat box. If I make any breakthroughs I'll post back here. ]]> RE: Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#2 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 03:04:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b#2 DisplayFusion We should actually be able to do this with the Scripted Functions in the DisplayFusion 7.0 beta. I'll see if I can whip one up for you tomorrow :) ]]> Function / Macro (not sure how to implement) Open program and move to location on monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b Mon, 24 Nov 2014 03:14:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/function-macro-not-sure-how-to-implement-open-program-and-move-to-location-on-monitor/?ID=8cb0ea5a-bced-4060-a326-9890d116529b DisplayFusion I thought I did the right thing, I made a function for stickey notes to move it to my second monitor near the top of the screen.

Steps: Window Location
Enable
Add
Select Application --->C:\Windows\System32\StikyNot.exe
Use current monitor (4 30" 1600p screenS)
Window Size ---> Run Selected function on the Window
Location ---> All Windows
Function --> Edit Function
Function Action: Manage Window

Custom Function Actions
Move window to specified location Position X 2560 Positiony 150
Dont change width (BTW if you use the target to link a location it just fills in width/height change

When this is done when I open stickey notes it goes to the top far right of the screen. The only way to get it to work is I make this function a hot key. My goal though is to:

Make a Hotkey and for this one hotkey to open the program, and move the window. I cant find anything on macros can someone help me figure out how to do this? ]]>
