DesktopHeight without taskbar?

[Kip]

Hi

How do I get the desktopheight witout the taskbar:

so: i want to get the red arrow, not the blue one.

(and the taskbar has with every style a different height, so)

Here you go....

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
$get=ControlGetPos("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", "ReBarWindow321")

$Height_Minus_Taskbar=@DesktopHeight-$get[3]

What if the taskbar is on one of the sides?

I was thinking about this thread as I was walking out the door, try this and see if you get the results you want (haven't tested it yet):

#include <Array.au3>
$aDTWH = _DeskTopVisibleArea()
_ArrayDisplay($aDTWH)
Func _DeskTopVisibleArea()
    Local $aInfo[2]
    Local $aCPos = ControlGetPos('[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '')
    If IsArray($aCPos) = 0 Then
        $aInfo[0] = @DesktopWidth
        $aInfo[1] = @DesktopHeight
    ElseIf $aCPos[2] = @DesktopWidth Then
        $aInfo[0] = @DesktopWidth
        $aInfo[1] = @DesktopHeight - ($aCPos[3] - $aCPos[1])
    Else
        $aInfo[0] = @DesktopWidth - ($aCPos[2] - $aCPos[0])
        $aInfo[1] = @DesktopHeight
    EndIf
    Return $aInfo
EndFunc

See this link

function to get desktop work area rectangle. Then it's a matter of subtracting top from bottom.

Good point Smoke_N! From the picture, I figured it would be always on the bottom but the best way would be two figure out where it would and then do the calculation.

Smoke_N's script doesnt work. is that true or is is just me? (or vista:)

What do you mean by "doesn't" work?

[Kip]

what i say: Doesnt work

[SmOke_N]

Why don't you explain what in the world you mean by "doesn't" work... Amazing you actually want help, and you can't even provide any type of details other than "doesn't work" pfft ...

ie...

Doesn't give any results at all.

Doesn't give the right results.

ok, it always returned -4 as width

but my own version works (not so different)

$aCPos = ControlGetPos("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]","","")
    
$Width = @DesktopWidth
$Height = @DesktopHeight

If $aCPos[3] > $aCPos[2] Then
    $Width = @DesktopWidth-$aCPos[2]
Else
    $Height = @DesktopHeight-$aCPos[3]
EndIf

MsgBox(0,"dd", $Width&","&$Height)
