Hello

First of all, sorry for my poor english.

I'm using this two functions to detect if a given window is maximized, minimized or "restored" or "windowed".

I think that this need to be a funcion integrated in the LUA commands of Strokesplus.

The code is from Rob's scripts.

The function aIsZoomed detects if a window is maximized (zoomed) and the function aIsIconic detects if a window is minimized (iconized). If a window is not maximized and is not minimized, its state is "restored" or "windowed".

Put this in Global Lua:

user32 = alien.core.load("user32.dll")

-- ************ IsZoomed ************
gIsZoomed = user32.IsZoomed
gIsZoomed:types{ ret = 'long', abi = 'stdcall', 'long'}
-- aIsZoomed (iWnd = window handle)
function aIsZoomed(iWnd)
return gIsZoomed(iWnd)
end


-- ************ IsIconic ************
gIsIconic = user32.IsIconic
gIsIconic:types{ ret = 'long', abi = 'stdcall', 'long'}
-- aIsIconic (iWnd = window handle)
function aIsIconic(iWnd)
return gIsIconic(iWnd)
end

If a window is maximized (zoomed) aIsZoomed will return something different to 0, else will return 0.

If a window is minimized (iconized) aIsIconic will return something different to 0, else will return 0.

Now you can use these functions directly. In my case I have differents monitors with different resolutions, so moving a window from one monitor to other is a problem, because the window is greater than the monitor.
I'm detecting if a window is maximized before and save the result in a variable.
Then I force the window to be "restored" ( even if is restored), move the window to the new monitor and then, if the window was maximized, I force to maximize.

This is the function on you Global Lua: ( the name of the function is in catalan, my language)

function dp_canvia_finestra_de_pantalla(h_Window,n_MonitorNum)
-- dp_change_a_window_to_monitor (handle of window, number of monitor)
local b_Max=aIsZoomed( h_Window)
acRestoreWindow(h_Window)
acSendWindowToMonitorByName(h_Window,nil,nil, "\\\\.\\DISPLAY"..n_MonitorNum)
if b_Max~=0 then -- Means not equal
acMaximizeWindow(h_Window)
else
acCenterWindowToScreen(h_Window, nil, nil, 1)
end
end

In your action script you can use this:

local s_MonitorNom=acGetMonitorName(acGetMonitorFromPoint(gsx, gsy))
local n_MonitorNum=string.sub(s_MonitorNom,string.len(s_MonitorNom))
if n_MonitorNum=="1" then n_MonitorNum="2"
elseif n_MonitorNum=="2" then n_MonitorNum="4"
elseif n_MonitorNum=="3" then n_MonitorNum="1"
elseif n_MonitorNum=="4" then n_MonitorNum="3"
end
dp_canvia_finestra_de_pantalla(acGetOwnerWindowByPoint(gsx, gsy),n_MonitorNum)

I have 4 monitors, but Windows think that the order is 2,1,3,4 ( from left to right) This is the script to move a windows to the monitor on the left.

I can use a similar funtion to assign a window to a monitor by a hotkey:


dp_canvia_finestra_de_pantalla(acGetForegroundWindow(),2)

This sends the foreground window to my first monitor ( in my case monitor 2)

Hope you can enjoy this...

Thanks for posting a useful script!

Unfortunately, any of my free time is dedicated to working on StrokesPlus.net, which does happen to support those and many other window properties by default.

But it uses a new script engine and scripting language, so unfortunately all scripts would have to be converted if you switched :/
