If it is possible, I want to do the following,

On start of windows, start outlook and snap it to the left side of Screen 1, then open Outlook calendar as a new window and snap it to the topright corner (Windows 10 snapping) also on screen 1 so it looks like the attached screenshot

Is that possible with Windows location in DisplayFusion?

You can definitely do this! The easiest way would be with a Scripted Function that you call on startup. Which version of Outlook is that? I'll write up a sample Scripted Function for this :)

@Mads: Here you go!
  • Update to the latest beta: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta
  • On the Settings > Functions tab, click Add Scripted
  • Give it a name, paste in the code from the attached text file
  • Close all open Outlook windows and then click "Run Function" to verify that the script works as expected
  • Click OK to save the script, then Apply to apply the settings
  • On the Settings > Triggers tab, add a new Trigger
  • Use "DisplayFusion Starts" as the event, and in the Actions pane, click Add > Run Function
  • Choose the newly added Scripted Function from step 2, then click OK to save the Trigger, and Apply to apply the settings
  • Close all Outlook windows again, then restart DisplayFusion, the Outlook windows should open within 1 minute of DisplayFusion starting up

Hope that helps!

@Alan: Do you want the exact layout of Outlook and the Outlook Calendar as Mads, but on monitor 2 instead of monitor 1?

No just Outlook would be fine.

Ok, and you want it to be on the left half of monitor 2? Or just maximized on monitor 2?

I will settle for it maximised on monitor to Kieth

Ok, you should be able to do that with a simple Window Location rule, Alan. If you've tried that already, was there an issue with it?

Thanks Keith

Hi all,

is there a way to get this to instead open outlook normally to the inbox then change the tab from "mail" to "calendar" looking for a solution for a calendar display for our on site meeting rooms so that when the machine restarts it automatically reloads the room display.

If you open using "windowHandle = BFS.Window.GetWindowByText("*Calendar*Outlook*")" it will default to your own calendar only.

This should be possible with a modified scripted function. Ctrl + 2 will switch to the Calendar when Outlook has focus. We'll see if we can write up a sample script for you next week :)

I made a script that will open or focus Outlook and change it to the calendar view and attached it to this post. All you have to do to get it running in DisplayFusion is:

  • Open the DisplayFusion Settings Window to the 'Functions tab'
  • Click the 'Add Scripted' button
  • Copy the code in the attached text file to the window that popped up

You might also have to change the "outlookPath" variable on line 15 to point to the location of Outlook on your computer.

I hope this works for you!
