Splastext position with different screen resolution

[tinkythomas]

Hi,

I've been searching the forum for information regarding how to have splashtext appear in the same position regardless of screen resolution.

I thought I had found the answer with this line of code

SplashTextOn("", $message1, 350, 55, @DesktopWidth - 895, @DesktopHeight - 890, 1, "Tahoma", 10, 700)

using the macros @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight.

But when I run this code on another pc the splashtext appears in a different position, not centered top as on my pc. Can anyone suggest how I would achieve this?

Thank-you

try @desktopheight /2 and @desktopwidth/2

Edit~

That'd be too easy eh? doesnt work...same place, but not centered for some reason...

Just as I was about to reply you had edited your post. It is not centered for some reason and not at the top of the screen.

Thanks anyway.

for the position, just use "" , no number, just quotes. That will make it use the default position, which is centered.

I tried that but I need the splashtext also at the top of the screen. I did experiment and this code sems to work......

SplashTextOn("", $message1, 350, 55, -1, 3, 1, "Tahoma", 10, 700)

I have only tried this on my desktop pc and laptop which have different resolutions, and it seems ok. Will have to try this on the pc's at work to discover if this is reliable.

Thanks for your help though.

Thank-you ProgAndy for the code, that's just what I wanted. So the position will be center-top regardless of screen resolution/size?

Thanks again for your help.

Right.
