 |
|
Can I use CE to get the height and width of the game window, also position of the game window on the desktop?
With using lua or another ways. |

if you can get the window handle yes
this code prints out the position of the windows calculator:
| Code: |
x=findWindow(nil,'Calculator')
m=createMemoryStream()
m.size=16
if executeCodeLocalEx('GetWindowRect',x,m.Memory) then
m.Position=0
print("left="..m.readDword())
print("top="..m.readDword())
print("right="..m.readDword())
print("bottom="..m.readDword())
end
m.destroy()

With this code i see this result (Calculator is running)
| Code: |
left=139390200
top=0
right=259625016
bottom=0 |
Also with the game the same result
Only with Notepad I see the correct values.
What am i doing wrong? |

Not using CE 7.0 ?
findWindow not finding the correct window? (could be an invisible window somewhere else with that name)

In CE there is a "tools->dissect windows"
the value in front of the windows are window handles, check if they match up

i atached calculator.exe to CE by processes and then opened "tools->dissect windows", but for calculator i don't see any values, i see only this
| Code: | 000B0856 - MSCTFIME UI - (MSCTFIME UI) (Invis)
001001CA - Default IME - (IME) (Invis) |
for other programms i see third string. for example for notepad and for games.
Only calculator won't work.
Also, if i get handle for some game from "tools->dissect windows" and use it instead
| Code: | | x=findWindow(nil,'grid') |
for example
script work fine and shows correct values.
Maybe i use incorrect name of game window (nil,'grid')?
How to get correct name of window, is it have the same name as exe process? |

Look at the window list when attached to the target (e.g grid)
Check the windows that do not have the (invis) tag
Then note down the caption
If there is more than one or a common name, then also use the classname (the first entry between round brackets () )

Now work fine, with caption from "tools->dissect windows", tested for 2 games, but third game has specific caption
| Code: | | 000C08D4-Need for Speed? Rivals - (Need for Speed? Rivals) |
and script not work if i use
| Code: | | x=findWindow(nil,'Need for Speed? Rivals') |
also not work if i use
| Code: | | x=findWindow(Need for Speed? Rivals,'Need for Speed? Rivals') |
This third game window has this title
Can i get handle from another way, with using lua script and game process name? or another. |

this code will return a similar result which is more easily copy/pasted
| Code: |
w=getWindow(getForegroundWindow(), GW_HWNDFIRST)
pid=getOpenedProcessID()
while w and (w~=0) do
if getWindowProcessID(w)==pid then
print(w..' - '..getWindowCaption(w)..'('..getWindowClassName(w)..')')
end
w=getWindow(w,GW_HWNDNEXT)
end
|

With caption 'Need for Speed? Rivals', which i copy/past, script still not work correct. Anyway now with this last i can get correct values of window
| Code: | w=getWindow(getForegroundWindow(), GW_HWNDFIRST)
pid=getOpenedProcessID()
game_window_handle = 0
while w and (w~=0) do
if getWindowProcessID(w)==pid then
game_window_handle = w
end
w=getWindow(w,GW_HWNDNEXT)
end
m=createMemoryStream()
m.size=16
if executeCodeLocalEx('GetWindowRect',game_window_handle,m.Memory) then
m.Position=0
print("left="..m.readDword())
print("top="..m.readDword())
print("right="..m.readDword())
print("bottom="..m.readDword())
end
m.destroy() |
Thank for your help. |

Use the name given by the application to Windows.
Look in: Open Windows Task Manager.
See the first section in Task Manager (Applications)
There you will see the full name of the game window.
