Screemer Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hello. I am a total noob, confessed.. Never did a single script in Autoit but find it quite intriguing.. Been checking many of your scripts out here on the forum and also the exampel scripts provided in the installer. I must say Autoit seem really competent. Now to my problem.. I want to be able to open up a program in a window that is say 90% or 50% (value should be possible to change by me). Say you want to run a notepad window and you always want it to be 30% of the set resolution of the active screen. If anyone have had a citrix server you mught know what I am after. In that server you can set it up so that when a user is starting a application it will always open up in a window that is 90% of the clients screen. Actually that is what I want to be able to use the script for. I am converting my home lab environment to microsoft remote-app instead of citrix and I have gotten used to the possibility to run programs in a 90% window on my client. Would something like that even be possible in Autoit? If anyone would be kind enough and at least point me in the right direction.. Thank you for this great software, forum and over all resource..

Tvern Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Look at WinSetTitle() & WinMove() in the Help File. This should get you going Also @DesktopWidth and @DesktopHeight can be used to retrieve the desktop resolution. You can do something like this: Global $iHeightPerc = 30 ;30% of desktop height Global $iWidthPerc = 40 ;40% of desktop Width Run("notepad.exe") WinMove(WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]"),"",Default, Default, Round(@DesktopWidth * $iWidthPerc / 100), Round(@DesktopHeight * $iHeightPerc / 100))
Screemer Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Hi there guinness and Mass Spammer. Thanks allot for the help pointing me and even coding it up for me. I've added a little something to it to have it open top left of main screen.. Final code here.. ; Open window % of full screen Global $iHeightPerc = 90 ;90% of desktop height Global $iWidthPerc = 90 ;90% of desktop Width ; Open window top left corner Global $iX = 1;Top left corner of screen Global $iY = 1 ;Top left corner of screen ; Start this file with parameters... Run("Terminals.exe /favs:VsTerminal") WinMove(WinWait("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.2e0c681]"),"",$iX, $iY, Round(@DesktopWidth * $iWidthPerc / 100), Round(@DesktopHeight * $iHeightPerc / 100)) Just wanted to thank you both and let you know it's working as I wanted it to..
