WindowState? If fullscreen do A. If not do B.

[zian]

The title says it.

I'd like a script/macro that will look at the window size (full size/maximized or not) for XBMC, MPC, WMC etc. If the window is full screen it fires one macro. If it is not full screen it fires a different macro.

Btw...
Searched much couldn't find any results.

Thanks.

Whowww! I'm so surprise that somebody have the same question!!!
I'm trying to do something without script but there is no solution.
I'm so exited, and I'm waiting for the solution.

Thank you for your help.

I know, why you got no answer.
On your question nobody knows the answer. There is no universal way.
I personally know only how it is with MPC-HC.
The answer you find, when you look at the code of MPC-HC plugin.

I'm bummed.
Thanks for the info Pako.

see if this will help...

http://pywinauto.sourceforge.net/

look into python's win32gui methods


also, I was thinking you might be able to get the window's dimensions and check it against the desktop resolutions... if they match, the app window should be full screen, if they don't it would not be


if you cannot find a way to do it in Python, you might be able to write a mini app to do it and pass the result back to Python...

Right now, I just thought of something.
It is possible to reformulate the task as follows ?
If some window of some program is just full screen and is on top, do A, otherwise do B.
If so, then it would probably be possible to find universal solutions.
Otherwise, it is not possible, because for each program this window (= FullScreen) is called differently and the biggest problem is to find the name and class name of this window.

I'm really interested by this subject but I'm not programmer.
The problem is to big for me.
I hope that you'll find a solution.
Good luck.

I found a solution:

FullScreen.png (7.97 KiB) Viewed 7375 times

Python Script:

Code: Select all

from win32gui import GetForegroundWindow, GetWindow, GetWindowRect
from win32api import EnumDisplayMonitors
GW_CHILD         = 5
GW_HWNDNEXT      = 2

def GetFullScreen():
    fullscreen = False
    mons = EnumDisplayMonitors()
    hwnd = GetForegroundWindow()
    rect = GetWindowRect(hwnd)
    for mon in mons:
        if rect == mon[2]:
            fullscreen = True
            break
    if not fullscreen: # maybe some child ?
        child = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_CHILD)
        while child > 0:
            childRect = GetWindowRect(child)
            for mon in mons:
                if childRect == mon[2]:
                    fullscreen = True
                    break
            if fullscreen:
                break
            child = GetWindow(child, GW_HWNDNEXT)
    return fullscreen

eg.result = GetFullScreen()

But I do not know if it will be reliable in practice and whether it will work in all cases that you need.
I tried only MPC-HC and WMP.

Hello,

I'm a novice, can you explain to me how to create the script? I create a *.txt file with the lines you give us and I save it to *.py?
This is this?

No, you need no *. py file.
You simply add to your configuration the action Python Script.
Once you put the action, opens a simple text editor.
There you paste (or write) a script and confirm OK.

Hello,

It seems to work perfectly. Not with a window from the Windows Explorer; like I wanted.

Thank you very much.

(((((Pako)))))

Works like a charm.
Thanks VERY much.

btw...
I use this so I can either A..."un-fullscreen" a window and then open up my docked magnify.exe
or
B... first close/exit magnify.exe and then do fullscreen (of XBMC - WMC - MPC-HC etc.)

I LOVE IT.

Nice work Pako... that would make a nice plug-in *hint, hint*
