Toggle window to monitor.

[TheVig]

I would like a "Ctr+Shift+L.Click" mouse trigger that will move an active window from one monitor display to the other.

MoveWindowToMonitor

This I've done to get a window to move to the secondary monitor:
Function Function46

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=win()
MoveWindowToMonitor hwnd 2

The problem is using "Ctl+Shift+L.Click" to move the window back to the primary monitor.

I figure there must be a way to determine what monitor a window is currently active on and then toggle which monitor from there.

So yeah, the big hang up is determining which monitor.

I thought of determining through the mouse click position like this:
Dual Monitors - window becomes active when mouse is in monit

Then running a script...that would work, but you probably know some magical way of doing this I've never heard of!

Function Monitor_Toggle
Trigger #CSL 0x9     

Code:

Copy      Help

int mon pmon
POINT p; xm p
mon=MonitorFromPoint(p MONITOR_DEFAULTTONULL)
sel mon
,case 1180117
,int hwnd=win()
,MoveWindowToMonitor hwnd 1
,case 7340581
,hwnd=win()
,MoveWindowToMonitor hwnd 2

So this works...and I'm sure it will probably only work on this machine. Is there a better way to determine what monitor a window is on?

Thanks,

Any way of doing this with QM?
http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm

[Gintaras]

QM has function MonitorIndex.

From QM help:

#MonitorIndex hmonitor ;;Returns 1-based monitor index.


QM 2.2.1.

Returns 1-based monitor index. Returns 0 if the handle is invalid.



hmonitor - monitor handle.

I'm giving a secondary monitor taskbar a go. I'm really thinking that I want it to work as a dialog so that I can run it as an exe and have hotkeys without QM running on the machines...I have quite a few systems I want to put this on!

_pi has made some pretty good headroom on this: http://www.quickmacros.com/forum/showthr...p?tid=1796

I've been dissecting his work and will be working though it all over the next couple days. I'm gonna switch over to that thread for any questions and solutions I come up with

Thanks,
