FW_GetMonitor() doesn't work

[frose]

Hi,

want to use the function FW_GetMonitor() to get the aRect's of all active monitors, but when calling the FW_GetMonitor( i ) ends the app with an unknown error:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

FUNCTION main()
   LOCAL oMonitor
   LOCAL i
   LOCAL nMonitors
   LOCAL aMonitors := {}
   IF HB_IsNIL( nMonitors ) .OR. HB_IsNIL( aMonitors )
      nMonitors := FW_ActiveMonitors()
      aMonitors := {}
      FOR i := 1 to nMonitors
        // app ends with an unknown error
        oMonitor := FW_GetMonitor( i )
        AAdd( aMonitors, oMonitor:aRect )
      NEXT i
   ENDIF
RETURN NIL

When invoking the getsysin.prg, the build process ends with these errors:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Generating object output to 'compiled\getsysin.obj'...
getsysin.prg(520): error: Redefinition of 'HMONITOR__' previously defined at C:\xHB\c_include\win\windef.h(182).
getsysin.prg(523): error: Redefinition of 'tagMONITORINFO' previously defined at C:\xHB\c_include\win\winuser.h(3755).
 

Understanding that there is a conflict with the xHarbour.com environment, but not really knowing what to do now
Please, can someone help

The problem could be with the commercial version.
Working well with all versions of xharbour/harbour bcc/msvc 32/64 bits.

Mr. Cristobal

I do not think that is his problem. He is getting compilation errors with getsysin.prg.

Mr. Frose

Please try commenting these lines in getsysin.prg and try

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

DECLARE_HANDLE(HMONITOR);

typedef struct tagMONITORINFO
{
    DWORD   cbSize;
    RECT    rcMonitor;
    RECT    rcWork;
    DWORD   dwFlags;
} MONITORINFO, *LPMONITORINFO;

Good afternoon Mr. Rao,

thank you very much for your answer.

The app compiles now with the commented lines, but it errors with <i> greater than 1:

and I don't know/understand why
Perhaps there is a speciality in my display settings with 3 monitors of different sizes, tried two different setups with no luck

[nageswaragunupudi]

It seems, in the line 374

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

           aInfo    := MonitorInfoFromRC( 20, x )
 

aInfo returned is NIL.

Can you please try
FW_GetMonitor( 1 )
FW_GetMonitor( 2 )
and
FW_Get_Monitor( 3 )
in separate lines and see for which monitor we are getting this error?

[frose]

FW_GetMonitor( 2 ) crashes.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Mr. Rao,

the crash ist in the next line 375:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

x        := aInfo[ 4 ] + 20

because the return value of MonitorInfoFromRC() is 0!

IMHO MonitorInfoFromRC() always returns 0, if the point isn't on the virtual screen

[nageswaragunupudi]

MonitorInfoFromRC() always returns 0, if the point isn't on the virtual screen

It should return NIL in such case.

1) May I know the screen resolutions of the 3 monitors you are using?
2) Also can you please let me know the Rect of MonitorInfo for the first monitor?
3) Please see line 374

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

           aInfo    := MonitorInfoFromRC( 20, x )
 

Can you please try different values like 100,200,300, etc in the place of 20 I used in the above line?

[frose]

1 - 3860 x 2160 -Primary, main display
2 - 2560 x 1440
3 - 2560 x 1080


rcMonitor 0 0 1440 2560
rcWork 0 0 1317 2560^

From the debugger:

[frose]

Can you please try different values like 100,200,300, etc in the place of 20 I used in the above line?

Notthing change, aInfo is always NIL with nMonitor is 2

[nageswaragunupudi]

Your primary monitor seems to be
2 - 2560 x 1440
Because top and left are 0,0 for this monitor,

Can you please call the function
FW_VirtualScreen() --> aVirtualScreenRect
and let me know the Rect values?

[frose]

Your primary monitor seems to be
2 - 2560 x 1440
Because top and left are 0,0 for this monitor,

I don't understand

my current display settings are:

FW_VirtualScreen() :aRect - {0,-2560,1440,6400}

I tried this 'linear' setup with same behaviour:

FW_VirtualScreen() :aRect - {0,0,1440,8960}

[frose]

Dear Mr. Rao,

look at this code:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

      FOR i := aRect_virtual[ 1 ] TO aRect_virtual[ 3 ] STEP 100
         FOR j := aRect_virtual[ 2 ] TO aRect_virtual[ 4 ] STEP 100
            aRect := MonitorInfoFromRC( i, j )
            IF HB_IsArray( aRect )
               cZwschn := ArrayToString(  aRect, ", " )
               IF AScan( acMonitors, cZwschn ) == 0
                  nMonitor ++
                  AAdd( aMonitors, { nMonitor, aRect } )
                  AAdd( acMonitors, cZwschn )
               ENDIF
            ENDIF
            IF nMonitor >= nMonitors
               EXIT
            ENDIF
         NEXT j
         IF nMonitor >= nMonitors
            EXIT
         ENDIF
      NEXT i
 

I finally got want I want, an array with the screen coordinates of all active monitors:


Thank you very much for your assistant.

Perhaps you can optimize this and implement it in the getsysin.prg for the next release

[nageswaragunupudi]

1. I need to modify the function a little. I will post the modification
2. Still, the function should work for your 2nd configuration. Monitors 1,2,3
