WindIt Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Hi , I have a 85" inch screen powered by windows 10 and using it for multiple web dashboards and applications to be viewed in lab. I have used power toys fancy zones, but not addressing the purpose. I am trying to built an application that can create custom grid on home screen (invisible) and applications that can fit into the grids. When closed application reinvoked can fit into the same grid automatically. Ex: 6x3 Grid

The help file has an amazing example of how to display and edit the DLL struct for it as well. All my code provided is Public Domain... but it may not work. Use it, change it, break it, whatever you want.

Any example will be really helpful.
Nine Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 There is no need to draw a graphical grid on your screen as most Windows apps have a frame. Just divide your screen into identical areas, and use @seadoggie01 solution (or other similar functions, like WinMove for example) to display the application into the proper area. Start scripting some base code, and if you have trouble, come back with what you have done so far. We will then be in a better position to help you out. seadoggie01 1 “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Debug Messages Monitor UDF Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy
