DisplayFusion RSS: Can new Position Profile minimize other windows?

RE: Can new Position Profile minimize other windows?

I've attached the script below, with the added 2 second wait timer in between. You can download it and import it via the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions > Scripted Function > Import Scripted Functions.

Thanks!

Is this script availible for download? I don't know any programming at all. I tried to copy and paste the script in both the VB and C# but it just gives me a bunch of error at the bottom. Can you give a step by step how to do this? Or better still is it possible to just let us have a check box to select in the windows position profile to minimize all before loading the position profile.

Hello,

Glad to hear you got it working! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks!

Oddly enough, that's something I never thought to test. It did lead me down the right path though!

Running just the profile worked fine
Turns out I needed a longer wait.

Putting a 2000ms wait in between the minimise & profile load got it!

Thanks!

Hello,

If you have that line to load your window position profile by itself, in a separate script, does it work okay?

Thanks!

So this is exactly what I need but for some reason it's not loading the profile for me.
I have a profile called "calls" which works perfectly when I load it from the menu (or set it up as the click option), but I need to minimise everything first..

I've tried:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Send Win + D
        BFS.Input.SendKeys("{WIN}({VK_68})");
        BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("Load Window Position Profiles: Calls");
    }
}

and:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Send Win + D
        BFS.Input.SendKeys("{WIN}({VK_68})");
        // Load the Profile
        BFS.DisplayFusion.LoadWindowPositionProfile("Calls");
    }
}

Neither actually load everything... but the minimise is working fine!

I've also tried adding waits in there but no joy so far. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks!
I knew about the scripting in DisplayFusion, but haven't looked into it yet, so figured I'd fix it quicker in AHK.

But now I'll for sure look into DFs scripting functionality.

Thanks for the feedback, Keith.

I made an AutoHotKey-script that helps me do the action I wanted.

Code
Copy
Select All

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^!Numpad1::
Send, #d
Sleep, 100
Send, ^#!{Numpad1}
return

^!Numpad3::
Send, #d
Sleep, 100
Send, ^#!{Numpad3}
return

I set the shortcuts in DisplayFusion to be Ctrl+Win+Alt+NumPad1/3.
Then in AutoHotKey I use the shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+NumPad1/3 to first send a Win+D to minimize all programs and then send the correct shortcut to DisplayFusion.

It sort of works, but not 100% perfect, so would be nice if this could be implemented directly in DisplayFusion.

There isn't a way to do that at the moment, no. We've added this to our feature request list and we'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it.

Thanks!

I'm trying to set up a few Windows Position Profiles and it seems to work OK.
But there is one thing missing or, more probably, I haven't found out how to set up.

I want all programs that are not part of the position profile to become minimized. Is there an option to do that?
