Hi,

I wish to create a trigger(s) to place VS in the following position:

See Image 1.

Here is my monitor configuration:

See image 2.

Because "Find Results" tool window always has "Project Name" (this changes all the time) as a title and changes its Window Class as well I have not been able to do this. The tool window is docked to the RHS of monitor 3 and takes up 1/2 the screen.

Do you have any ideas?

I asume you have VS. If not please let me know if you require more info.

Thanks

Mark.

In the Trigger rule, you can disable the Window Class condition, and edit the Window Text condition so it just says
"Find Result"


That will make it match any window that starts with that text :)

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your input but that will unfortunately not work. As you can see in the screenshot the window text is the VS solution name and not "Find Results".

Any other options?

Thanks

Mark.

Ah nuts, if that's the case, and the Window Class also changes each time, there isn't anything you can do there, unfortunately :(

If you have a limited number of projects, you could put all of the project names in the Window Text. Spaces are treates as an OR, so you'd do something like this:

project1 project2 project3 project4

Thanks for your suggestion. I had already tried that with no luck.

I am investigating Window Position Profiles but for some reason VS does not get moved to the correct posion.

Any suggestions.

Image 1 and 2 are my DF settings.

Image 3 is VS with random posiions on main monitor.

Image 4 is what I expect after pressing Ctrl Alt V. Unfortunately I still have image 3. Note that Image 4 shows 2 windows split over 2 monitors.

Thanks

Mark.

If you manually add an entry for that NCrunch Tests window to the Window Position Profile and use the blue target picker to grab the info for that window, what is the Window Text?

It is the same as this "Find Results tool window always has "Project Name" (this changes all the time)". I have 3 windows docked there and it has the project name.

Can Window Position Profiles arrange windows on demand and is this feature likely to work for me?

I have found a manual solution. The solution using triggers with window save and restore was not at all reliable.

I have created on huge Window Position profile with all my commonly run apps. I manually trigger this with a hot key.

It looks like you cannot edit this once created. Can I add individual apps so I don't have to open everything when I create a new one?

Found it.
