To get the number of physical monitors

To get the number of physical monitors:

Code: Select all

LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,number,80
MDL>number

I manage to get the number of screens and the "virtual screen" which is the rectangle which all displays are placed within. I now only need to know where the each display's viewing rectangle within this virtual screen.

Code: Select all

  LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,VIRTUAL_SCREEN_x,76
  LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,VIRTUAL_SCREEN_y,77
  LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,VIRTUAL_SCREEN_w,78
  LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,VIRTUAL_SCREEN_h,79
  LibFunc>user32,GetSystemMetrics,MONITOR_count,80
  MDL>%MONITOR_count%%CRLF%%VIRTUAL_SCREEN_x%%CRLF%%VIRTUAL_SCREEN_y%%CRLF%%VIRTUAL_SCREEN_w%%CRLF%%VIRTUAL_SCREEN_h%

This one seems to have it but I have yet to found out how.

This is how Windows is seeing the virtual screen.

But today we only know the max and min (purple arrows) related to the 0,0 point (green arrow) which is the top left corner of the primary display. In order to know the visible areas + which display a visible area is attached to I would need to know these points shown in the image below (red arrows):



I have yet to stumble over an API call to retrieve this. If anyone knows please step into the light.

God darn it! The problem was solved already!? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10372&p=44256

Code: Select all

RunProgram>cmd /c PowerShell -Command " & {Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;[System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::AllScreens}" | clip

Gives me the output:

Code: Select all

BitsPerPixel : 32
Bounds       : {X=0,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1200}
DeviceName   : \\.\DISPLAY4
Primary      : True
WorkingArea  : {X=0,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1160}

BitsPerPixel : 32
Bounds       : {X=-1920,Y=920,Width=1536,Height=960}
DeviceName   : \\.\DISPLAY1
Primary      : False
WorkingArea  : {X=-1920,Y=920,Width=1536,Height=920}

BitsPerPixel : 32
Bounds       : {X=1920,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1200}
DeviceName   : \\.\DISPLAY5
Primary      : False
WorkingArea  : {X=1920,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1160}

Which is exactly what I want. I will incorporate this into my script at some time. Thanks @jbas!

A touch up on the code:

Code: Select all

  Let>RP_CAPTURESTDOUT=1
  Let>POWERSHELL_COMMAND=Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;[System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::AllScreens | ConvertTo-Json
  RunProgram>cmd /c PowerShell -Command " & {%POWERSHELL_COMMAND%}"
