Re: Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

There is no notion of a current screen in the OS itself. Do you mean which screen the frontmost window is in? And what do you mean by "In"? A window can overlap two or more screens. Typically if you double click the title bar of a window, the window will maximize on the screen the mouse is in.

Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

As I look through screenLoc, screenRect(s), etc., I'm not seeing *any* way to figure out which screen an object is on, short of manually comparing elements of its rect to the various bits of screensRects. In particular, I want to know if another stack (or group) that I set the position of will

Re: Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

I believe the screenRects is the only function that determines if you have multiple monitors available. So comparing stack rects or plugging points from your group rect/s into the globalLoc function would be the way to go. The screenRect by itself determines the rect of the main monitor.

Re: Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

Couldn't you just get the globalLoc of the field and set the stack to that, or an offset of it? On January 9, 2016 6:37:52 PM CST, "Dr. Hawkins" wrote: > > >Anyway, in this case, I'm popping up a stack over a field with the list >of valid choices (I needed more than the

Re: Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

It's really hard to say how all the advices to this question apply to the new feature of "SplitView" of OSX 10.11 (https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204948) Luckily, in the sense of Mark Wieder (and TMHO). ___ use-livecode mailing list

Re: Figuring out if something is on the current screen, or getting the current screen rect

We get Split View for free if we implement fullscreen. I was going to do it for Hacktoberfest but it was interesting working out the syntax and how it interacts with the current fullscreen property and decorations so I went for something simpler instead. Cheers Monte Sent from my iPhone >
