Is a function to start the window 1/3rd from the left possible?

WARNING: You currently have Javascript disabled!

I have a Custom function to move Window to the Center and enlarge, but I was hoping to have a function that does the same thing, but have the start position 1/3rd from the left of the screen and enlarge to the right (I have an ultrawide monitor).

Is it possible to start at a percentage of the screen? The Alignment options seem somewhat limted and none of them would work the way I'm trying to get it to work.

I was using the Beta, but was having to many issues with these functions so I went back to standard.

Use this as a C# scripted function:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        Rectangle monitorRect = BFS.Monitor.GetMonitorBoundsByWindow(windowHandle);
        BFS.Window.SetSizeAndLocation(windowHandle, (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.33), 0, monitorRect.Width - (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.33), monitorRect.Height);
    }
}

If you want to adjust the percentage, replace the two

0.33

with a different number instead of 33%.

This looks like it just sizes the windows to 33% and doesn't place it in the 33% of the monitor. Am I reading that wrong?

I've already got 3 functions that split it to the left 1/3rd, the middle 1/3rd, and the right 1/3rd, but I'm wanting the left side of the window to START in the middle left 3rd and extend right instead of starting in the middle of the screen and extending left AND right.

Why don't you try it and see if it does what you want? It does what I was able to understand of your request. The function literally says it affects size and location. It uses

0.33

two times... once for left position and once to resize the window to be that much smaller than the entire screen.

Maybe draw a picture?

It just occurred to me that this might not work perfectly for everyone. I have my taskbar autohide, so I didn't care about the space that the taskbar occupies. (it occupies zero) For most people, their taskbar does occupy space... so please replace

GetMonitorBoundsByWindow

with

GetMonitorWorkAreaByWindow

Ah! I didn't understand the code initially. Thank you! That Worked! These are the parameters that I used:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        Rectangle monitorRect = BFS.Monitor.GetMonitorBoundsByWindow(windowHandle);
        BFS.Window.SetSizeAndLocation(windowHandle, (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.3333), 0, monitorRect.Width - (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.55), monitorRect.Height);
    }
}

How do I get it to work on the CURRENT window and not go to a specific one?

Apr 25, 2024 • #8

Are you using the code from your last post? It should be setting the size of whatever window is currently focused

I am using the same code. It constantly puts it on monitor #2 no matter which monitor I have the window on.

I edited this to offset the origin coordinates by the detected monitor's top/left corner instead of assuming it started at 0,0. Also includes the edit to use the working area instead of the full area. (Won't work correctly if you have a top or left aligned taskbar)

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;
public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        Rectangle monitorRect = BFS.Monitor.GetMonitorWorkAreaByWindow(windowHandle);
        BFS.Window.SetSizeAndLocation(windowHandle, 
            monitorRect.Left + (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.3333), monitorRect.Top, 
            monitorRect.Width - (int)(monitorRect.Width * 0.3333), monitorRect.Height);
    }
}

I didn't really understand why you changed one of the numbers to
