( Solved ) Need help with tooltip message.

[Borje]

 Hello,
 I wonder how to detect @DesktopWidth the actual screen resolution and then automatically
 insert it into the tooltip message for the correct positon even if you change
 the screen resolution. Also I want do automatic detect the @desktopwidth  Thank you for tips and examples.

 

$a = @DesktopWidth - 1280 
 $b = @DesktopHeight - 100
 
 ToolTip(" This is a test tools message", $a, $b, "Test tool message", 1, 1)

Hi

I want to atomatic detect the 

@DesktopWidth not the fixed 1280 but in another computer I have another resolution and I want to automatic detect and insert this to the tooltip to have correct position on differt screen resolution.

Use better math.

If you want it centered, then divide by 2. If you want it at the lower right hand corner, figure out the math needed to get the tip there regardless of the dimensions. You can't use a fixed number on different resolutions,  you need to understand the math.

Hi BrewManNH

Yes I know but I wonder if that is anybody command to read the default screenmode and then automatic put in that in tooltip message.

[BrewManNH]

You already did that in the first post, now you need to figure out the math needed to do the same for any resolution.

This will center the tip on the primary monitor

$a = @DesktopWidth / 2
$b = @DesktopHeight / 2

ToolTip(" This is a centered test tools message", $a, $b, "Test tool message", 1, 1)
Sleep(10000)

Im sorry for my bad english but this I have already tested my question is how to read the actual resolution to a string value, if I want ro run the program in

example in my notebook there is another resulotion there and I not want to have the tooltip in center of screen therefor I want to automatic detect the resolution in a string to set the @desktopwidth and place the tooltip in that position that the another computer have the @desktopheight are all time default to 100

@desktopheigt are default 100. 

[BrewManNH]

Give an example of what the resolution is of both computers, and where on the screen you want the tooltip.

Hi BrewManNH

I have this resolutions in my notebook 1366x768 and in my second computer 1280x1024  and I want it to be displayed in the lower left corner.

For the lower left the X is zero..

$a = 0
$b = @DesktopHeight-100

ToolTip(" This is a test tools message", $a, $b, "Test tool message", 1, 1)
Sleep(3000)
