Dear Cüneyt,
Hey, thank you for the snippets! Maybe someday I will use them to
make that MultiMonitor plugin for PP (if you don't mind!).
Anyone else have anything?

Hi there,
I'm not working frequently with multiple monitors, but thought you might
like these few functions, especially "GetDesktopOfCaption":
// returns the number of desktops
@GetNumberOfDesktops
Quit(win.GetSystemMetrics("SM_CMONITORS"))
// returns the desktop rectangle, i.e. "left top right bottom"
@GetDesktopRect
Local _desknum = arg(1)
if(_desknum >= ....@getnumberofdesktops)
_desknum = 0
Quit(win.GetDisplayRect(_desknum, 0))
// returns the desktop size, i.e. "width height"
@GetDesktopSize
Local _desknum = arg(1)
local _deskrect = ....@getdesktoprect(_desknum)
local _left = word(_deskrect, 1)
local _top = word(_deskrect, 2)
local _right = word(_deskrect, 3)
local _bottom = word(_deskrect, 4)
local _xscreen = abs(_right - _left)
local _yscreen = abs(_bottom - _top)
Quit(_xscreen ++ " " ++ _yscreen)
// returns the desktop number of the given window caption,
// if any window with the matching caption can be found.
// it computes the overlapping area between the window and the desktops
// and returns the desktop with which the windows overlaps maximum
@GetDesktopOfCaption
Local _caption = arg(1)
Local _winhandle = win.handle(_caption)
Local _desknum = -1
; win.debug("Found handle:", _winhandle)
if(_winhandle)do
local _deskcnt = ....@getnumberofdesktops
local _overlapping_percentages = vec.create(_deskcnt)
local _left = win.left(_winhandle)
local _top = win.top(_winhandle)
local _right = win.right(_winhandle)
local _bottom = win.bottom(_winhandle)
local _width = win.width(_winhandle)
local _height = win.height(_winhandle)
local _total_window_area = _width * _height
; win.debug("Window l,t,r,b,area:", _left, _top, _right,
_bottom, _total_window_area)
// iterate over the desktops and find overlapping areas
for(local i=0; i<_deskcnt; i++)
local _deskrect = ....@getdesktoprect(i)
local _deskleft = word(_deskrect, 1)
local _desktop = word(_deskrect, 2)
local _deskright = word(_deskrect, 3)
local _deskbottom = word(_deskrect, 4)
; win.debug("Desk " ++ i ++ " rect,l,t,r,b:", _deskrect,
_deskleft, _desktop, _deskright, _deskbottom)
local _overlap_left, _overlap_top, _overlap_right,
_overlap_bottom
if(_left > _deskright || _right < _deskleft)do
_overlap_left = 0
_overlap_right = 0
else
_overlap_left = max(_left, _deskleft)
_overlap_right = min(_right, _deskright)
endif
if(_top > _deskbottom || _bottom < _desktop) do
_overlap_top = 0
_overlap_bottom = 0
else
_overlap_top = max(_top, _desktop)
_overlap_bottom = min(_bottom, _deskbottom)
endif
; win.debug("Overlapping l,t,r,b: ", _overlap_left,
_overlap_top, _overlap_right, _overlap_bottom)
local _overlap_area = abs((_overlap_right - _overlap_left)
* (_overlap_bottom - _overlap_top))
local _overlap_percentage = _overlap_area * 100 /
_total_window_area
; win.debug("overlap area, percentage:", _overlap_area,
_overlap_percentage)
_overlapping_percentages[i] = _overlap_percentage
endfor
// find the maximum overlapping percentage
local _max_coverage = 0
local _max_coverage_desknum = -1
for(local j=0; j<_overlapping_percentages.length; j++)
; win.debug("Desktop:", j, "overlapping:",
_overlapping_percentages[j]. "%")
if(_overlapping_percentages[j] > _max_coverage)do
_max_coverage = _overlapping_percentages[j]
_desknum = j
endif
endfor
; win.debug("Found desktop:", _desknum)
endif
Quit(_desknum)
They should work with single-monitor setups as well.
HTH,
