I have been using the script Advanced Window Snap, which snaps windows to various places of the monitor, which uses the function GetMonitorIndexFromWindow to determine in which monitor a window is located.
I am converting it to AHKv2.
So far, I could get this:
GetMonitorIndexFromWindow(windowHandle) {
; Starts with 1.
monitorIndex := 1
; Original
; VarSetCapacity(&monitorInfo, 40)
; My try
monitorInfo := Buffer(40)
NumPut("Uint", 40, monitorInfo)
if (monitorHandle := DllCall("MonitorFromWindow", "uint", windowHandle, "uint", 0x2))
&& DllCall("GetMonitorInfoA", "uint", monitorHandle, "uint", &monitorInfo) {
monitorLeft := NumGet(monitorInfo, 4, "Int")
monitorTop := NumGet(monitorInfo, 8, "Int")
monitorRight := NumGet(monitorInfo, 12, "Int")
monitorBottom := NumGet(monitorInfo, 16, "Int")
workLeft := NumGet(monitorInfo, 20, "Int")
workTop := NumGet(monitorInfo, 24, "Int")
workRight := NumGet(monitorInfo, 28, "Int")
workBottom := NumGet(monitorInfo, 32, "Int")
isPrimary := NumGet(monitorInfo, 36, "Int") & 1
monitorCount := MonitorGetCount
Loop %monitorCount% {
tempMon := MonitorGet(%A_Index%, &tempMonLeft, &tempMonTop, &tempMonRight, &tempMonBottom)
; Compare location to determine the monitor index.
if ((monitorLeft = tempMonLeft) and (monitorTop = tempMonTop)
and (monitorRight = tempMonRight) and (monitorBottom = tempMonBottom)) {
monitorIndex := A_Index
break
}
}
}
return monitorIndex
}
but it doesn't work because the way I replaced VarSetCapacity(monitorInfo, 40) doesn't seem to be what the DllCall expects.
I also tried strings, or buffers, but the DllCall (the second one) complains about "Error: Expected a Number but got a VarRef.".
In fact, I'm not even sure this DllCall is still needed, maybe the functions https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Monitor.htm could be used to skip it altogether.
How can I convert the function to a syntax compatible with AHK v2?
