Choosing display device and pixel coordinates

[njord]

Hello comrades.

 

I have two monitors connected to my pc.

 

1.How can I choose which monitor Leadwerks Application window will be created in ?

2.How can I control on which xth, yth pixel the LE window will pop up (if not full screen) ?

3.How can I make my LE app "always on top" ?

 

I have tried using parts of this example code :

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/3433-checking-if-your-game-has-been-started-multiple-times/page__p__31286__hl__setfocus__fromsearch__1#entry31286

however FindWindow never returns a non null value.

 

Thanks in advance!

You can grab the HWND value of the created window with hwnd=GetFocus() right after the graphics command.

Then you can use all Windows API functions to manipulate the window.

FindWindow is used like:

HWND WINAPI FindWindow(
 __in_opt  LPCTSTR lpClassName,
 __in_opt  LPCTSTR lpWindowName
);

so it should be

 HWND hWnd = FindWindow(0, title.c_str());

in the example you linked to.

FindWindow did not work somehow. But this worked :

 

Graphics(resolutionX,resolutionY,32);
HWND windowHandle = GetActiveWindow();

void setWindowAlwaysOnTop(bool enable)
{
if (enable)
{
	SetWindowPos(windowHandle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
} 
else
{
	SetWindowPos(windowHandle, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);
}
}

void moveWindow(int posx, int posy, int width, int height)
{
if (width < 1)
{
	width = resolutionX;
}
if (height < 1)
{
	height = resolutionY;
}
MoveWindow(windowHandle,posx,posy,width,height,true);
}

void showWindowBorders(bool enable)
{
if (enable)
{
	SetWindowLong(windowHandle, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(windowHandle, GWL_STYLE) | WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_THICKFRAME);
} 
else
{
	SetWindowLong(windowHandle, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(windowHandle, GWL_STYLE) & ~(WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_THICKFRAME));
}
}

 

Thank you for the answers lads.
