MUSHclient scripting

Description of MUSHclient world function: world.GetMainWindowPosition


Name GetMainWindowPosition
Type Method
Summary Returns the position and size of the main MUSHclient window
Prototype BSTR GetMainWindowPosition();
Description

This function returns the size of the main MUSHclient window (the frame window inside which all world windows reside), in pixels.

For normal scripting languages these return a string, like this: "89,18,825,654". For Lua, see below.


Note: Available in version 3.56 onwards.


VBscript example
Note GetMainWindowPosition
Jscript example
Note (GetMainWindowPosition ())
Lua example
table.foreach (GetMainWindowPosition (), print)
Lua notes
In Lua it returns a table with four entries, like this:

top=18
height=654
left=89
width=825

In Lua you can supply an optional boolean argument. If true, a different method of calculating the window position is used (calling GetWindowRect rather than GetWindowPlacement). This method gives a more accurate result if you use "Aero Snap" under Windows 7 or higher. However it may return inaccurate results if the window is minimized.

eg.

GetMainWindowPosition (true)

The default is false, the original behaviour.
Returns Returns a string in the form:

left,top,width,height

eg. "89,18,825,654"

For Lua, returns a table containing:

top=(value)
height=(value)
left=(value)
width=(value)
Introduced in version 3.56
